During my time as a bankruptcy attorney, on about a dozen occasions clients have told me that filing bankruptcy saved their marriage. I understand exactly how they feel. Most of us are stressed about money, whether the source is credit card debt, student loans, medical bills or a loan on a car we can’t quite afford. Recently I read an article about common causes of divorce. Debt was mentioned as a stressor which can cause unhappiness in a marriage. I supposed if you can remove the cause of your unhappiness in your marriage, then you will be less likely to file for divorce. If the cause of your marital unhappiness is debt, perhaps you should talk to a bankruptcy attorney about your financial situation before you consider ending your marriage.
