Marital Estate Distrubution Services

In Minnesota, marital property is generally subject to “equitable distribution,” meaning that it must be divided fairly – though not necessarily equally – in a divorce. The marital estate typically includes assets and debts acquired during the marriage, such as real estate, bank accounts, retirement savings, pensions, and personal property. Our divorce law firm assists clients in identifying, valuing, and dividing these assets fairly among both parties.

Ask A Question

There are certain debts that a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy does not allow you to discharge. Some of these debts include:

1. Recent taxes
2. Student loan debt
3. Child support obligations
4. Spousal support obligations
5. Debts not listed in the Chapter 7 Petition
6. Credit that was obtained from fraud
7. Debts with co-debtors – your co-signer will be liable for the full amount of the debt unless they also file bankruptcy

If you are behind on your mortgage payment or car loan, a Chapter 7 will not bring you current. However, there may be other options available to you., like Chapter 13.

It is also important to keep in mind that a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy may not protect all of your assets. If you own multiple homes with a lot of equity in them or other valuable assets such as boats or vehicles without loans against them, the bankruptcy trustee will either sell the item and use the proceeds to pay some of your creditors, or negotiate with you to receive the cash equivalent of the asset. We can help you negotiate with the trustee if this situation arises.

If you find yourself in this type of situation, where you have unprotected assets that you want to keep, it may be better to do some pre-bankruptcy planning or look into a Chapter 13 payment plan.
