Re: bancruptscy or not
Sounds to me like bankruptcy is an important option for you to consider. Depending on how the trust is set up, I believe that the creditor can get a lien on those payment, up to 25%. I am not certain of that and you may wish to check with a state court attorney who specializes in collections. However, I can tell you that you are going to have an extremely difficult time paying of a $70,000 judgment with gross income of $3,000 per month. My suggestion would be for you to give me a call and we can go over your situation in detail and decide on the best alternative for you.
