Will I be responsible for the house if I leave?
Question Details: We are trying to get a loan modification on the house we live in and are trying to sell it. We will be declaring bankruptcy after all of this. I want to know if I can get out of the marriage now.
Divorce, Marriage, Alimony Law Answers
There are simply too many possibilities here for a simple answer. One thing that I do know, is that you and your wife would not be able to file a single, joint bankruptcy after the divorce, and quite possibly not after the divorce has been filed, especially if you are no longer living together.
You should start by talking to a Pennsylvania divorce lawyer, if possible one who also does bankruptcy work. While you might have to pay for a consultation (bankruptcy attorneys these days are very busy, and working long hours), it's almost certainly your cheapest option in the long run.
