Bankruptcy may be unnecessary for you, since you may be "judgment-proof," based on what you've listed here. On the other hand, bankruptcy may prevent a lien from being placed on your homestead. You need to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to know for sure if you should file. You haven't listed any reason I see for deferring your filing for a year. Usually, you are forced to wait a year for filing after your make a transfer of an asset to a relative or business associate. It doesn't appear you've done that.

Generally you need to wait at least 90 days after recent large credit card charges ... stop using your cards at once. If you wish a free office consultation please set an appointment with our Clearwater office: Hartley Law Firm , www.HelpHomeDebt.com
