Divorce can be complicated and messy. Bankruptcy can also be complicated and messy. When the two life events and areas of law intersect, the results can be catastrophic unless you know how to address the issues. The panel of experts explains the basics of divorce law, pre-bankruptcy planning, issues relating to the timing of each of the proceedings, jurisdiction, the effect of bankruptcy and discharge on Probate Court orders, alimony, support and property settlements, and domestic support obligations and their effect on the means test and homestead issues. The panel also presents you with the latest case law deciding these complex issues. This program is a must for lawyers who practice in the Bankruptcy Court in Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 cases.
