Re: married and filing seperatly

You need to consult with a lawyer who can go over all the facts of your situation with you, face to face. Perhaps a Cahpter 13 would help you, but no lawyer can answer that without analyzing all your circumstances - which is just not possible over the internet.

If you can't afford a lawyer, ask Legal Aid for help. Most bar associations also have panels of lawyers will to work for reduced fees.

Good luck!
