Foreclosure and Bankruptcy in Divorce

Metro Detroit Economy and the Affect of Foreclosure and Bankruptcy on Divorce

There is no way to say this more clearly: It is critical for your divorce attorney to understand Michigan laws about responsibility for debt in a divorce settlement. If you are considering filing for divorce, talk to an attorney at Spindler & Stern before making a decision about filing for bankruptcy or losing your house to foreclosure.

"Marital property is shared equally, and so is debt. If your spouse files for individual bankruptcy, or you lose a house to foreclosure before the divorce is final, you may be held responsible for the debt. We will give you clear advice about ways to protect yourself." — Attorney Lisa D. Stern
