Bankruptcy and Divorce

The Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy once wrote, “All happy families resemble one another; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” But when it comes to divorce, we at Chang & Diamond, APC, in San Diego & Riverside County, California, have found that unhappiness often boils down to one issue: money.

To obtain legal assistance with the financial problems that have complicated your marriage, contact the bankruptcy attorneys at Chang & Diamond, APC, today.

Think about it. When you earn a good salary, save a significant portion of your paycheck, and pay all of your bills on time, life is good. Your spouse is happy and you feel good about yourself. But when you finances stall and you must deal with unpaid bills, maxed out credit cards, and harassing creditors, your relationship with your spouse can be overshadowed by debt. You cannot spend, you have to cut corners, tempers flare, and blame is exchanged.

Hiring an inexperience leagl attorney to handle your case not only results in sloppy and faulty legal representation, but also extra financial costs added to your divorce costs, not to mention the psychological damage of such an unsettling experience.

People often turn to debt consolidation agencies first, but such an action requires paying additional fees before any activities on resolving the matter even begin to take place. Trying to negotiate debt on your own is also ill-advised, especially if you don’t contact an experienced debt relief attorney beforehand or you get inaccurate and incoplete information from unreliable sources.

At Chang & Diamond, APC, our lawyers believe that divorce and serious economic problems often go hand in hand—if you are able to resolve your financial problems, you can solve your relationship problems. Filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy may provide the relief you need to pick up the pieces and work together toward financial and domestic security.
