Legal Question in Bankruptcy in New Jersey

Can I add my divorce atty in my bankruptcy

Hi, I still owe 10,000 to my divorce atty after paying close to 20,000 already, for a divorce where no assets, no home, et cet. Just debts were involved and a lot of bs on my ex's part.

I am just about destitute because of it. I am filing bankruptcy to get rid of credit cards that I cannot afford to pay and a Trailblazer that I was silly enough to put under my name and now I am stuck with a $700 payment that I can't afford and no one wants it.

Anyway -- went off a little there ---

I feel for what I got out of divorce, close to 20,000 is enough. When I got the remaining bill, I almost stroked out. I cannot afford to give him another ten. Can I add him into my bankruptcy?

Re: Can I add my divorce atty in my bankruptcy

The short answer yes because when you file a bankruptcy petition, you are required to list all of your assets and all of your liabilities. You can not exclude selective debts from the bankruptcy.

If you have further questions, feel free to contact me.
