Can you file bankruptcy on Attorney Fees?
If you are going through a divorce and have temporary orders that you have adhered to (you owe your spouse no monies and you owe no child support-all paid in full and current) can you file bankruptcy on Attorney Fees? The amount is 00 to spouse attorney and 00 to an independent attorney assigned by the judge. I am in Texas.

Maybe. Attorney fees are, generally, dischargeable, but the attorney may have a lien or the attorney fees may be part of the Marital Separation Agreement, and therefore treated like alimony or child support.
Nearly all consumer bankruptcy attorneys offer free consultations. Take advantage of this to meet with one and get advice based on all of the details of your particular situation. You can find a referral at NACBA.org (National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys).
