They are looking at Ch 7 if they really do divorce. Neither one, seperately, makes enough to float the bills they've created together.
They have the house. He has his CC debt and she has her CC debt. She has a lower paying job, while he has a higher paying job. He can't keep up the house payments and his CC debt without her income. She can't pay her CC debt and find a place to live without his income. If she moves out, she'll need every penny from her paycheck just to survive. If he keeps the house, he'll need every penny from his paycheck to keep up the mortgage. If they sell the house, they'll just break even on it. Between their 1st, their 2nd, and costs to sell, they're at the upper end of the price range on their home. Neither one of them has enough money to buy-out the equity in the house of the other one if they split.
When they started thinking about filing, they were looking at Ch 13 as long as they would be doing it together. Now that they may be splitting up, they are both looking at Ch 7 to be able to move on with their lives.
