Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California
Property and Bankruptcy
My credit card is maxed due solely to attorney fees from my divorce and custody battle. My ex owes me $8500 in back support of which the District Attorney is making him pay $107/mo. and I have filed for sanctions of $20,000 due to his deliberate continuances and attempts to run up my attorney fees. I'm contemplating bankruptcy. I have 9 mor car payments left. Can I lose my car? I co-own a house with a friend in which I presently live with our daughter and pay the mortgage. Can I lose the house? Even if it belongs to myself and someone else?

The word "can" is a troublesome word. In any event, usually people can keep their cars and even their house, depending on what equity if any is in each, and what the value of all your assets are, and what other debts you have. Without all that information, I cannot even begin to answer your questions. If you would like a free consultation, please visit my web page and give me a call.
