So, I am in the process of filing for divorce. He is not helping, so I am filing it contested. It will take quite some time to go through the courts. I am really struggling financially, especially since he did not help me at all financially for the past few months. So, I am seriously considering bankruptcy. I understand the adverse effects of this on my credit, but I think it may be my only option. I have a few questions about this. #1: he is threatening to take me to court and demand everything- even though 98% of our possessions were brought into the marriage by me. Nevada is an equal property state- so technically he has the right to ask for half, but do you think the courts will give it to him? We have only been married 9 months. #2- Should I wait until after the divorce is finalized before I file bankruptcy, or would it help me to keep the little property I have left if I filed now? Really, there isn't much he could demand: the car is upside down about $7000, no house, no expensive electronics, ect. #3- how would my filing for bankruptcy before the divorce effect his credit? Would it really screw him over? That is not my goal, so i am not intentionally trying to injure his credit. What would you recommend?... Read More »
