Be willing to do anything to keep that from happening. Look at all of your options before doing a bankruptcy. You may need to let one of those cars go. See if you can get a deferment on the student loans. But do the bankruptcy if there is no other way. Edit: I wanted to mention credit counseling. And it seems to me like if your husband benefited from your debts, then he might have some obligation to help you pay on at least a few of them, if that helps. You ought to talk to a lawyer about that. Whatever you do, DONT borrow more money to make ends meet. Be willing to do anything to keep that from happening.

The last thing you want to do is file for bankruptcy. Lower your standards of living and see if you can get friends of family to watch your little ones rather than a day care. Talk to teachers at your school, see who watches their little ones. Sell the car you can get the most for (as long as both are trustworthy) and use it to pay off credit cards...which charge the most interest). Cut the credit cards, become a coupon freak....seriously. Best of luck No, no, no. The last thing you want to do is file for bankruptcy.

That helps. At least it did with me---- at 1st. Needless to say, I ended up filing a chapter 7. As for your 2 cars.... sell 1 of them. the one thats almost paid for and then take that money and pay of some or all of the other car. You can go to a debt counseling place, they help to. Also, if there is ANY credit card or bill thats in both your names.... you can always not pay them (get bad credit) and they'll go after you BOTH. if none are in your exs name then I suggest going to debt counseling 1st. see what they come up with and if thats not plausible, then do a chapter 13... then the worst thing..... chapter 7.
