Legal Question in Bankruptcy in New York

Do I need a lawyer to file personal bankruptcy

I just came from arbitration for my divorce. Because of the marital debt I am forced into personal bankruptcy because my husband is filing and because of the joint debt. Do I need a lawyer for this or can I do it myself???

Maybe. While you can file your own bankruptcy petition it may not be wise to do so. I suggest, before you take any furhter action, that you call the Bankruptcy Hotline available 24/7 at 212-No-Bills (212-662-4557) for recorded information which will help you understand your bankruptcy options.
