Divorce During Bankruptcy in Florida
A marriage is not only an emotional relationship, but also a financial one. When a marriage ends, what was once one household essentially becomes two. Many recently divorced individuals find it challenging to support a household on one income when they are used to two. As child care, child support, marital debt and other expenses add up, people often turn to credit cards to keep themselves afloat.
If you have been struggling to get back on your feet since your divorce, talk to a Fort Myers bankruptcy and divorce attorney to discuss your situation.
