Simplifying Bankruptcy and Divorce
Divorce and bankruptcy are both major life decisions, and the choices you make about them now can impact your life in the here-and-now and far into the future. With skilled legal representation, you can protect your interests and avoid problems down the road. At the Law Offices of Carla J. Zolman, L.L.C. in St. Louis, Missouri, our lawyers are here to simplify the parallel bankruptcy and divorce processes, thus saving you both time and money.
If you are contemplating divorce, we will advise you about whether or not filing for bankruptcy protection prior to the end of the marriage will be more beneficial to you.

Joint Bankruptcy
Filing bankruptcy as a couple is typically cheaper and easier than filing separately. It also prevents complicated debt division in your divorce proceeding, which could streamline the process and make both the bankruptcy and divorce more cost-effective.
Rather than assigning your credit card bills, medical bills and other marital debts to each other in divorce, you may be able to discharge them through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. We can help you determine if you and your spouse qualify for Chapter 7 or if a Chapter 13 repayment plan would be right for you. Our experience with complex and high-asset marital estates will benefit your case.
As experienced attorneys, we have seen the emotional damage that financial disputes can cause, and understand the interplay between divorce and bankruptcy. We can help you set the stage for a quicker and easier divorce, minimizing anxiety for you and your family.
A Clean Slate
Bankruptcy, like divorce, offers you a chance at a new beginning. Whether you are facing foreclosure, the repossession of your car, or wage garnishment, we can help you save your property and your dignity in order to move on with your life.
