A: Recklessness is not a bar to the granting of a discharge in a bankruptcy case. If you feel you need to be heard, you should voice your opinion to the Trustee in the case and/or you can appear and speak at the Meeting of Creditors.
My girlfriend has a condo in Seattle. She is has very little income and is living with me in Nevada. She is renting out her condo for $1200/month, but her total payments are $2000/month. She is steadfastly falling further and further underwater. She owes $300k on her condo, and its worth $240, so she can't sell.
I own my own house (no loan), and have savings that I have accumulated after years of hard work.
If she gets forclosed on, attempts a short sale (I've heard banks are trying to recoupe losses by going after past short sale) or goes bankrupt, can they come after me? (Someone said they might be able to come after me because she is living with me).
No lease signed
I was living in a condo, renting a room out from the owner and recently moved out. Before I moved out I was a little behind and the roommate/landlord told me just as long as I didnt get any farther behind I could stay. A month or so after that I found somthing cheaper and closer to work so I moved. The girl I lived with is now threatening me to pay her back or else shes going to take me to a small claims court, can she do that? We never had any signed lease or payment agreement for anything the whole time I lived there. What should I do?
My biological father who passed away last year, was a criminal for most of my life and he never payed child support even though my mother had gone to court for it. Since he moved states and jails frequently & we were never able to pin him down for it. His mother just passed away a few month ago and I was told by distant relatives the estate is to be split 3 ways, the wife he was married to less than a year ( not a reputable woman) my half brother who lives in the family home in Jackson, TN and myself. I am being kept mostly out of the loop because they believe me to have no interest in the estate due to my lack of contact with that side of the family.
So my question is would it be worth pursuing more than 1/3 of the estate due to the 18 years of back child support owed (my half brother was paid off while he was still a juvenile) or should I just contact their attorney in Jackson, TN and take whatever they have to give.
