When To File Bankruptcy » Bankruptcy Q and A

Should I stay with a 43 year old, out of work man living with his parents?

Okay, I met a 43 year old divorced father of two and we’ve been sort of seeing each other for the past 3 months. He says he has really fallen for me, so much in fact that he has told me he loves me. The thing is, he moved back in with his parents because of the divorce, but that was over a year ago. He used to have his own business, but the business went bankrupt and he has not worked in awhile (definitely not since I’ve met him). I just am starting to wonder if he even has any motivation to do anything other than trying to hang out with me and talk to me! We hardly see each other because of the living situation and when we do hang out all he talks about is how he misses me, how he likes (and now loves) me so much, etc… I just don’t know if I can be with a man who doesn’t work, lives with his parents and isn’t doing anything about it! He says he’s getting his own place in a couple of weeks, but I am struggling to believe this is true considering he still isn’t working and doesn’t have any savings! I think he is a genuinely good person, but I don’t know if that’s enough. My question is this…is there hope for him? Should I stick it out and see if things change? To me it just seems bad because he has been living this way for so long, it’s like he wants to move, but financially can’t get his stuff together! For being 43, I just expect more I suppose….is this wrong of me? Or, should I hit the road and end this now?? Please, any advice will do!!

My details:
***I am 34 years old (no kids, if that matters) and do have a full time job as well as go to school.
I completely understand Steven’s point and I do give the guy credit for the ambition to try and do something on his own, but in all reality his own business was just himself and a couple of guys he could call on to come help on bigger projects. I’m not trying to downplay it, that’s just the reality. I still admire the ambition, I completely understand the horrible economic situation that’s been going on and I know it is really tough on American’s, whether you have a job or not….I don’t want to come off as not being totally sympathetic to that.

I don’t really know what does happen.

My friend is under water on her house in Las Vegas, can’t rent or sell it & has decided to file bankruptcy. So what happens to her house now?

I’m a property manager but not a sales agent so I don’t really know about this kind of thing.
She already tried to short sell- bank would not agree.

Yes she has other debt.
OH – OK. So she can give the bank possession of the house during the bankruptcy then it turns into a foreclosure. Did I understand that right?

If bankruptcy filings have increased quite a bit, why aren't there more bankruptcy attorney jobs?

According to statistics on the www.uscourts.gov website, bankruptcy filings have increased substantially since 2009. Yet, when I look for bankruptcy attorney jobs online, they are virtually non-existent. Why is this?

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.
