Lawsuits, Judgments, and Filing Bankruptcy in Ohio
Bankruptcy Attorney Kenneth L. Sheppard, Jr. discusses the handling of lawsuits in Ohio and the treatment of lawsuits and judgments in a bankruptcy
- Q. Ohio Bankruptcy question
- A: 7 and/or 13 may be available to you. The answer depends on equity, income, and other issues involve being current on the mortgage. A much closer analysis with you is needed before any bankruptcy attorney can properly answer the question. Great question though. The attorney can review your specific situation and let you know what type of bankruptcy you would be looking at to file.
- Q. I am a cosigner on a car loan for my ex husband in the process of divorce and he is purposely not paying the loan
- A: Yes. Both attorney answers are correct. Speak with your divorce lawyer if you have one. Temporary support orders is the most effective way to address this matter. Have your texts ready to be easily reviewed by your counsel. If no counsel, make sure to bring those texts with you to court for the temporary orders hearing. You have to initiate the temporary orders hearing by motion. I hope this helps.
- Q. My dad is 61 he wants to file for bankruptcy but he's on a fixed income through ssd he's on dialysis how should he file?
- A: If his sole source of income is SSDI, then he may need to look at doing nothing. My suggestion is that he speak with an experienced bankruptcy attorney to discuss the consequences of not filing at all and filing either type of bankruptcy. More info is needed because the advice could go in a few different directions based upon all of the facts, such as assets, values, debts, his intentions on things, and basically the totality of the circumstances. A holistic approach should be given to the situation and that's why discussing the facts in greater detail is warranted. I hope that helps. Thank you.
