Chrysler Group’s Fortunes Turned After Bankruptcy

Call: 888-297-6203 Almost 3 years back Chrysler LLC and Fiat S.P.A. formed an alliance that wasn’t announced formally till Chrysler declared bankruptcy. Fiat eventually purchased around 30% shares of the Chrysler Group. Though they wanted to buy 51% stock, this wasn’t possible since Chrysler owed the U.S. Government debts which needed to be repaid before the purchase could happen. Despite their sticky situation, Los Angeles based bankruptcy law firm Recovery Law Group says, the Chrysler Group reported a profit of $183 million which is a dramatic improvement from their $652 million loss incurred during 2010. Though, they have [...]

Your Family Size Matters In A Bankruptcy

Call: 888-297-6203 When you file for bankruptcy, the Jacksonville Bankruptcy Court, considers the person who lives with you and the treatment of that person differs depending on the bankruptcy chapter you file for. This does not imply that the person’s character matters. The thing that actually matters is the dependency of that person on you for most of his or her care, and if he or she isn’t dependent on you, his or her regular household contributions will matter. Any money paid to or on behalf of the filer of bankruptcy is treated as a regular contribution to [...]

Homestead in Bankruptcy

Call: 888-297-6203 It is fortunate to have equity in the home in Florida, as it offers one of the most generous exemptions in a homestead in the United States. Although, exemptions are offered at the federal level, but the residents of a state must use their state exemptions in case their state decides to create their own exemptions. However, states like Pennsylvania have no exemption in the homestead at all. In Florida, the property should either be 1-half acre (within the municipality) or 160 acres (outside municipality) to be eligible for a homestead exemption. This benefit is largely [...]

Child Support in Bankruptcy

Call: 888-297-6203 Automatic Stay is one of the most powerful effects of bankruptcy filing. It has the power of stopping the lenders from pestering and making collection attempts from the debtor. However, there are some circumstances in which an automatic stay might be unable to prevent continuation of other court proceedings, at least partly. One of such circumstances arise in family law cases which involve custody and child support. Generally, an Automatic Stay does not work in proceedings related to present payment of child support or visitation. This means that such proceedings will continue despite the filing for [...]

What is No-Asset Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

While the Chapter 7 is known as the bankruptcy code which sets off debt from the liquidation of assets, it can be surprising to learn about No-Asset Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

The no-asset case is a scenario where, the filer does not give in any asset or cash to the bankruptcy trustee for liquidation. The filer instead keeps possession of all the assets, he/she owns. The lenders or creditors will not expect any proceeds or debt settlement, as there [...]
