About the program

Explore the interplay of two sets of laws, where love and debt intertwine

With the current economic situation, the stress on families is bound to increase. Debt problems can lead to divorce, and divorces may very well have a debt component. That’s why it’s important for lawyers in both practice areas – bankruptcy and family law – to be aware of potential problems and opportunities where these sets of laws overlap.

This specialty program on bankruptcy and credit issues in the family law context will prepare you for questions such as:

• What is the language you should be including in your divorce judgments to deal with a planned or potential bankruptcy?
• What factors enter into the decision as to when  is the best time to file a bankruptcy in a divorce situation?
• How can you structure a divorce/bankruptcy situation for  a high-income divorcing couple so as to allow them to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Timing is everything
What a bankruptcy practitioner doesn’t know about divorce law can affect later divorce proceedings, and the same is true from the family lawyer’s perspective. Get the information and techniques you need to untangle love and debt and time things in your client’s best interest by attending this unique seminar.
