NEW BANKRUPTCY FORMS FOR 2016

This year has been interesting for the legal system,  and there has been a lot of changes within the law.   The law changes every year for the bankruptcy system including the bankruptcy forms.   The forms have already started circulating so beware of these changes.  I suggest that you don't go alone
trying to fill out the forms yourself,  due to the complicated issues in bankruptcy and the new forms.
You can file a bankruptcy pro se,  however,  get someone that know how to prepare your paper for you.   Bankruptcy attorneys and Paralegals are the best source to turn to for help,  if you are going to file a bankruptcy.

Chapter 7 and 13 In Gerogia

There are some situation in which a chapter 13 is preferable to  a chapter 7.    A chapter 13 will help you if you are behind in your mortgage payments or other property that you want to keep that the payments are behind.  If you have valuable property that is not covered by Georgia bankruptcy  exemption you will probably  need to file a chapter 13.  People also file a chapter 13 if they have too much income.  However,  the vast majority of people file a chapter 7.  Remember bankruptcy can help you save your home by stopping foreclosures,  and garnishments. and you get the protection of the court immediately.  Bankruptcy is not the sign of death as it was once considered,  look at the positive side of getting back on track.

  

IS THERE AN EQUAL DISTRIBUTION IN GEROGIA

The first question a lot of couple filing for divorce ask is whether they or their spouse is entitled to half of marital property.  The answer is that Georgia law dose not require marital property to be divided equally.  Georgia courts apply the principles of equal division, which mean that the appointment of marital  property  between spouses  is to be a fair division, not necessarily 50-50.  It is divided case by case, and some factors are (1) if each spouse contribute to the acquisition and maintenance of the property (2)  the duration of the marriage.  This is a case by case decision and Georgia is an equal distribution state, not community property.
