OMG DH just lost his job...

[lillaimof2kids]

Well, we were planning on filing BK7 Monday morning. I have the rest of my paperwork all together and ready to take in tomorrow. Well, DH came home and said he just lost his job! So now what the heck do I do? No paperwork is accurate. I can't support a freaking dog on my income. I'm about ready to loose my mind!

Bk is on the backburner for the moment. Your husband needs to apply for unemployment first thing in the morning. Then, he needs to bust his tail looking for a job. That's really all you can do.

So sorry for you.

I would hold off on filing. The reason: you can't really think clearly at the moment. There may be something you're missing that you just can't think about right now.

I'd start by telling this news to your attorney and getting his thoughts on the implications of this.

Are you guys filing for 13 or 7? ... Again, get your attorney into this. And come back here to the forum and ask questions.

I'm sort of new at this. Others more experienced will surely weigh in.

I think I"d put the BK on the backburner too.

I hope he can find another job quickly.

Well, it took him 2 months to find this job before we could file. That's the crap of it all. I've already put this on the backburner for several months. All the paperwork has been turned in months ago. All I have left is the last minute things...recent bank statements, paystubs. Heck, we paid our attorney in full early Feb.

I'm still fuming...his new bed will be the couch for a while.

Why? May I inquire as to what he did?
