Cherry Hill Divorce and Credit Card Debt Attorney
Dealing with divorce is one thing. Dealing with debt is another. When the two intersect, you need skilled advice and representation from a family law attorney with experience in complex property distribution cases.
Will You Be Responsible for Debts That Your Spouse Took Out Without Your Signature?
Do not assume that any and every debt incurred during the marriage would be held as a joint responsibility of the spouses by a family law judge. For example, you will want to know how to document whether a debt benefited the marriage and family or constituted dissipation of marital assets if it was spent on gambling or on an illicit love affair. A skilled divorce attorney can advise you on how to protect your rights when you are approaching divorce with debt as a reality of your overall marital estate.
Is Bankruptcy on the Horizon? Is Your Spouse Racking Up More Credit Card Debt?
You and your spouse may decide that filing bankruptcy before going through with a divorce makes the most sense for both of you. Or you may need to obtain a restraining order to prevent your spouse from racking up additional debts that you could be liable for during the process of divorce. Perhaps you need help dividing marital assets when many of your assets are tied up in loans: your house and the mortgage, your cars and the auto loans, your boat or furniture, or jewelry that you and your spouse have been paying for on installment plans.
Will Credit Card Companies Pursue You After the Divorce for Balances on Your Spouse's MasterCard or Visa?
You may simply wonder how to handle credit card debt in the property division negotiations, and what to do if your spouse does not pay debts according to the divorce decree's stipulations. Might the creditor come after you after the divorce to seek repayment of credit card bills that are assigned to your ex-spouse in the divorce? The answer is usually "yes." What sort of post-judgment enforcement remedies would be available to you in that case?
