Re: Getting a Divorce Judgment
Get guidance on when to file bankruptcy from your bankruptcy lawyer. As you're looking at Chapter 7, unless you've already been participating in a court approved credit counseling program, it's likely going to be a while before you can file anyway. I personally would not suggest filing for bankruptcy when your divorce is open but all that remains is getting a copy of the final judgment, but I don't have all the facts.
