What if you are getting divorced and your wife needs spousal support after you file jointly for Chapter 13?
You need a good attorney. You did it backwards. Had you filed for divorce, then filed bankruptcy, the obligation to spousal support would not be discharged. But you filed jointly and you reported your income and household expenses and your plan for repayment was approved based on that information. You may have to figure out a way to live separate lives on the same money you current live on together. I don't know howsuccessful you will be if you come in after the fact w/ financial obligation. Especially since you both signed the bankruptcy forms. But don't take this as the last word There is a lot of info on Bankruptcy and Divorce. Do some research. If you find something that might apply, see if it will fly with your debt trustee. An attorney's advice is going to cost you and that is money you don't have to spend right now. Good Luck. This may be a good time to make peace with your spouse and work together for your future best interests whether together or apart. Just an idea!
