Making Ends Meet Again After Going Through a Divorce
How do people who are recently divorced make ends meet? The truth is, they often can't. Budgeting and covering your bills as a single parent can be extremely difficult. Going from a two-income household to a one-income household will often cause severe financial problems.

At the law firm of Robert W. Berry, Attorney at Law, I understand how hard it can be for divorcing couples to manage their debt problems. I have been practicing law in this field long enough to understand that bankruptcy and divorce often go hand in hand. If you are in financial distress as a result of a recent divorce, don't hesitate to speak with me about your situation.
Bankruptcy Before Divorce
If you are considering bankruptcy and divorce, it may be advisable to proceed through the bankruptcy process first. If you are divorcing, your marital debt may be divided between you and your spouse. It may be in your best interest to file for bankruptcy prior to filing for divorce in order to resolve your debt situation in the best possible manner. Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy before you get divorced can also make for a more streamlined and a less financially-burdensome divorce. A bankruptcy lawyer can help you find the best solution for your particular situation.
Bankruptcy After Divorce
If you cannot make ends meet as a single-income household, talking to an experienced attorney about addressing your debt may be a significant help. I have helped hundreds of people put their debt troubles behind them. While many post-divorce debts (such as child support, alimony, and debts you are obligated to pay in your divorce decree) may not be discharged, bankruptcy may be useful in allowing you to restructure your financial obligations.
