This is a question for your bankruptcy attorney since he or she knows or has easy access to your specific situation. It may require a plan modification based on your changed circumstances.

Re: Divorce and bankrupcty

Talk to your bankruptcy attorney because it depends on what assets/debts you are dividing up and you'd have to decide which of you will continue paying for what debts. Also, one or both of you may qualify to convert to a Ch 7 if the divorce changes your financial situation. Discuss this with your bankrupcy attorney before taking any further action.
