Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
divorce with chapter13
Do I have to wait for a chapter 13 bankruptcy to end before I file for a divorce. If I sell my share of our house, do I have to pay off the chapter 13 out of the money received.

No to both questions, although you would have to get the Court's permission to sell your house.

You cannot file for divorce (or pursue an existing divorce) while a bankruptcy action is pending without getting a Lift Stay Order--you can petition the court for the same or enter into a stipulation for the Lift Stay.
