Yes. We can file a Chapter 13. How much you have to pay in the 13 will depend on how much you have In the way of assets and debts. We can usually get it filed in a day or two depending on how quickly you can come in and get the information and documents to us. We can get the garnishment stopped pretty quickly and sometimes get some of the garnishment money back depending on the date the bankruptcy is filed, the date the garnishment hit, the date the pay period was that was hit with the...

You absolutely need to hire an attorney. Be careful about what you post here. Feel free to telephone me for assistance and I will discuss this more in detail in private. The other facts the other attorneys have listed here about the law are pretty accurate.

If the court order states that she is supposed to let the child visit your husband needs to take her back for contempt.

A debtor court will freeze the payments and put you on a payment plan. A chapter 7 might end the nightmare for you. Go and talk to a bankruptcy attorney.

You might want to consider filing a chapter of bankruptcy immediately. Go discuss this with a bankruptcy attorney.

It sounds like she is coming after you for money owed in an agreement that has been finalized with a judgment for divorce.

You might have to pay interest on this money as well if you can't prove the debt was extinguished, (i.e. you have no...
