OK, I'm needing to both solicit opinions and ask a question...
Last year I filed a Chpt 13 pro-se, (and was confirmed). I requested a dismissal since I am now married and wish to incorporate my wife's debts into a new filing (in a different state as the original 13).
HOWEVER, in May, 2010, I will be able to file a chapter 7 again, and we do qualify. We are a no asset case. Should we just try to drag out the filing until it gets closer to being eligible for the 7, or should we file the 13 and then convert? We're not in any danger of lawsuits/garnishments (yet).
The question I have is regarding debts from a previous marriage. We were divorced in Wisconsin (a marital property state), and the judge put certain debts on me, and the sole breadwinner in the marriage. If these debts are discharged on my end, what happens to the debt? Can the family court judge hold me in contempt for not complying with her ruling? I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, but someone out there may know...
Thanks!
