Orlando Divorce and Debt Lawyer

Orlando Divorce and Debt Lawyer

Martial Debt after a Divorce

No one plans to get behind in paying bills. Individuals going through the divorce process can especially be caught unaware by their spouse’s mounting credit card bills.

When it comes to Orlando divorce and debt, a judge can issue an order regarding equitable distribution of the debt. But the courts are unfortunately limited in making an ex-spouse pay his or her portion of marital debt after the divorce is finalized. This happens to the detriment of the other spouse.

Speak with an experienced Florida attorney at our firm today.
Call 407-834-4847.

A common example of marital debt is credit card debt. Credit card companies are not interested in someone’s divorce decree. They are going to enforce their signed credit card agreement. In the case of a joint credit card account, when a spouse who was assigned by the divorce court to pay the marital credit card debt fails to pay, the other spouse is fair game to the creditor to hold responsible for payment.

An Orlando divorce and debt lawyer at TK Law has experience in multiple practice areas to best safeguard our clients from extreme, unfair and uncalled-for debt or Tax Liability. Our first priority is to answer your questions, evaluate your case and explain various debt-relief and protective options to you. We are here to help you make some of the most important decisions of your life.

If you are divorcing or have divorced and find yourself snowballing in debt, there are very workable relief options that we can help you with right away. We also employ all legal means available to stop harassing phone calls and letters. Contact TK Law today for a free, no-obligation consultation. An Orlando divorce and debt lawyer can be reached by calling 407-834-4847.

Credit Card Debt after a Divorce

High credit card debt is all too common for couples facing divorce. Equitably distributing credit card debt does not mean the debt is split down the middle. Instead, a judge divides marital property and debt in what appears to give each party a fair share of benefit and obligation. The court will consider the financial situation of each spouse, contributions by each partner during the marriage, how long they were married and the best interests of the children.

Although credit card debt accrued during marriage may be either split or assigned to one spouse, both ex-spouses are accountable for payment if the debt falls into default. Creditors are not bound by any Florida divorce decree, and therefore credit card companies will still hold you responsible for your spouse’s debt if it is a joint account. If you are unable to pay, this can wind up severely damaging your credit ratings. For this reason, it is imperative to terminate all joint accounts as soon as you realize you are going to file for divorce.

Bankruptcy after Divorce

Many times, divorce is a result of financial problems. It is not uncommon for an ex-spouse to file for bankruptcy after a divorce, as unexpected or unmanageable debt becomes overwhelming. Bankruptcy may discharge the bulk of certain debt completely. At TK Law, we have vast experience in family law and we are also bankruptcy attorneys. The benefit for the clients we represent in divorce is that we prepare them for and protect them from what could come should bankruptcy or other serious debt arise.

On August 7, 2020, I was fortunate TK Law Firm was suggested as the first option for Divorce and Family Law. I was blessed to be represented by Ms. Janelise Gastell and TK Law Firm Support Staff. Ms. Gastell has the qualities and standards of integrity, ethics and loyalty. Ms. Gastell's dedication and determination resulted in positive results. Ms. Gastell challenged me to put in the same amount of effort. The end result was the divorce being finalized on September 4, 2020. Four years later, the money spent was an outstanding investment. The financial investment was an integral part of moving forward in my life. This included my well being mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. If potential clients are searching for excellent Divorce and Family legal representation. My recommendation would be Attorney Janelise Gastell. Thank You.

My wife and I finally took the steps to start the estate planning process as we are not getting any younger and we didn't want to leave a mess for our daughter to have to clean up. We have witnessed this far too many times of the last few years, as relatives have passed away only to watch the circus play out afterward. TK Law provided a wonderful experience from start to finish. Everyone at the office that I had the pleasure of working with was extremely professional and got back to me in a timely manner with any questions that I had. My wife and I really appreciate all the hard work and are very thankful to get all our estate planning needs met. We now have the peace of mind that we have done all that we can to minimize any issues after we pass.

The divorce process is never easy, but everyone one at TK Law made it as easy as possible. Kayla Johnson, my paralegal was always available, helpful and understanding of the situation. Attorney Janelise Gastell was also extremely helpful. She made sure all decisions were made in my best interest. My divorce seemed to take much longer than the average due to the other side, but both Ms Johnson and Attorney Gastell kept things moving as quickly as possible.
