Well we finally have our lawyer paid and began working on the filing. We were gathering my husbands stock that he inherited from his grandfather. Because we don't get much from the dividend checks, we assumed that the stock was not worth much. Well, it turns out that it might be worth more than we thought.
It certainly won't be worth enough to get us out of trouble, but it could be enough that he would have to give some up. He will be finding out in the next couple days what it's actually worth.
My lawyer said it is possible for me to file alone. My husband is only an authorized user on all but one of our CC. The one he is joint owner of has gone through judgement already and they are accepting a small payment a month and not moving forward on the judgement. The other debt in his name is a loan we intend to keep paying and our 2 cars we intend to keep paying. The cars are worth way less than what we owe.
This is making me a wreck. I don't want to file ch 13. We truly are living paycheck to paycheck now even without paying our cc each month. Mu husband took a job loss 3 years ago that has just killed us.
I guess my question would be, what are the pros and cons of just me filing? Any other advice?
Thank you so much. I am tired of being stressed.
