When Should You File for Bankruptcy During a Divorce?

Divorce often stems from financial problems, which can also result in a bankruptcy case. However, filing for both divorce and bankruptcy at the same time generally isn’t advisable. Instead, visit a bankruptcy law firm and speak with a lawyer about your situation. Your attorney is likely to recommend that you file for bankruptcy first and then file for divorce once your bankruptcy case is resolved.
