newbie taking the first steps

[no_it_all]

After speeking to an attorney I retained. He said I should be able to keep the car as an exemtion if it is worth $6000 or less. If it's worth more, there are still ways we can keep the car. What a relief, since our car was the only item of any value we have and the only thing we really wanted to keep.

Great news....I am glad you found an attorney that appreciates some good Pre-Bankruptcy planning and despite the fact that your auto is over the exemption limits, you can keep it....good luck
