When is a good time to file bankruptcy?

I was looking at consolidating my credit card debt into a newer home loan with New Day Loans. The fees were over ,000 and would leave me in negative equity on my home for years to come. I don’t want to live here another year. I am also planning to file for a divorce as well. I am not behind on any payments for anything, but I make many payments late, but rarely 30 days late. The new credit card bill rules increased my payments so much its killing me.

When is a good time to file bankruptcy?
Shoud I file on everything?
Should I file on just the credit cards?
Should I file before or after filing for divorce? Or shoud I wait until after I get divorced?

Thanks,

does being on a deed for a home open it up for seizure during bankruptcy?

My ex and I are still married, though we’ve been separated for over 2 years. We bought the house that he has when we were married, though my credit was iffy at that time and I am not on the mortgage information.

I am severely in debt and am looking to file chapter 7 bankruptcy. I am on the deed to the house, but not on the mortgage. Does my filing bankruptcy put the house that he lives in at risk? Also, I’m filing for divorce on Tuesday and am giving him the house in the divorce.

I want to ensure that if I go into bankruptcy court they can’t take my ex’s house from him. I am also on the joint bank account that he has, but I’m going to go to the bank with him shortly to have my name taken off of it.

Any information on this would be appreciated. If I sign a quit claim deed for the house does that stop them from being able to take his house? What’s the process?

Thanks
but what happens if I file bankruptcy and he doesn’t? Will they go after the home to satisfy my debt? He has some equity in the home, but I’m not sure if it’ll be enough to cover all that I owe.

I just don’t want to make this divorce harder than it already has been.
