This applies to second mortgages/equity lines as well? Ours is with a credit union.

I've been away from the forum. DH saw two atty's in spring. I did not take off work to go with him, and that was a HUGE mistake. He didn't record the meeting and came back with a massive headache from information overload...and he simply can't remember everything that was said. Lawyer wants $200 per hour to come back and ask questions since he spent so much time with him! (

Go set up intial consultation appointments with at least two other bk attorneys in your area, and this time both of you need to go and take notes. Bankruptcy is best done as a team effort.

Also even though you intend to use a lawyer to file, both of you will still benefit by getting the Ch 7 NOLO How to File for Chapter 7 book to read. Here's the link - http://www.nolo.com/products/how-to-...uptcy-HFB.html . Best of all, it's on sale until Jan 7, so it's the best $24.79+shipping you'll ever spend! Brick and mortar bookstores (Borders, Barnes and Noble, etc) carry this book as well, but expect to pay full price (usually about $35-40).
