Bankruptcy Indiana

I'm feeling especially privileged.  It's always an honor to be asked by one's peers to speak at an advanced seminar about the bankruptcy laws in Indiana.

ICLEF (the Indiana Continuing Legal Education Forum) is holding its Annual Master's Series Conference on Advanced Family Law July 17-18 at French Lick, Indiana. As one of only a dozen consumer bankruptcy specialists in the state of Indiana, I have been invited to lead a session on "Bankruptcy Issues Within Family Law".

As a debt consolidation lawyer offering bankruptcy services in Indiana for more than twenty years, I've written and lectured many times before on ways in which divorce and child support issues intertwine with bankruptcy law in Indiana.

My colleagues the Anderson, Bloomington, Indianapolis, and Columbus bankruptcy lawyers who work in the Zuckerberg bankruptcy law offices have all handled cases where bankruptcy and divorce were happening at the same time to the same people.  We've all learned that, whether you're filing under Chapter 13 bankruptcy laws of Indiana or filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, two things seem to hold true:

• Careful bankruptcy planning can make divorce simpler; lack of careful bankruptcy planning can make divorce much more complicated and painful.
  
  
• It's a myth that bankruptcy in Indiana leads to divorce.  Bankruptcy isn't a problem - it can often be a solution.  In reality, filing bankruptcy often strengthens a marriage when the couple is being pro-active together in the face of financial problems.

If divorce and bankruptcy are both in the cards for you, it's crucial to obtain expert legal advice.  In fact, one of my purposes in offering the advanced education session for professionals is to help family law attorneys better understand why it's important to coordinate their strategy with us bankruptcy attorneys, all in the best interests of the clients.
