Missouri Bankruptcy Lawyer and St. Louis Divorce Attorney
The number of couples who are divorcing and in significant debt shows no signs of going down. In some cases, financial troubles can stress a marriage to the point of divorce. In other cases, difficulties in the marriage can have negative ramifications in every area of a person's life — physical, emotional, social, as well as financial.
At the law firm of Foley-Walker Enterprises, L.L.C., we offer legal services in two practice areas: divorce and family law and bankruptcy law. Our lawyers are caring, skilled and knowledgeable, and they are here to help you find solutions that work.

Together, we can help you understand the pros and cons of every option relating to your unique situation.
- Is it better for you to file bankruptcy prior to divorce? And, if so, can you live under the same roof with your spouse until the bankruptcy is finalized?
- Are the creditors making it impossible for you to live without fear of the next phone call or letter in the mail? Then it may make sense to file bankruptcy first.
- Would it make more sense for both you and your spouse to file joint bankruptcy, so that neither of you will be responsible for the debt incurred in the marriage?
- Is it better to divorce first, and then file for bankruptcy?
- If you are about to divorce but anticipate that your ex may file for bankruptcy after the divorce, will you be financially liable for any debt he or she incurred?
- How do you divide marital debt with regard to bankruptcy?
- How can you protect the assets you do have during a divorce?
If there is a bankruptcy pending, you will need to finalize the bankruptcy proceedings prior to going through a divorce. This is the law. Also, marital debt is not dischargeable in bankruptcy, nor is child support debt.
