I've come full circle #26

I had to file bankruptcy because ex stopped paying the bills he was responsible for according to the divorce decree. He filed bankruptcy in November 2008 and ended up only having to pay a portion towards the bills solely in his name. The remainder of those bills because they were in joint name came back to me.

I was fine paying my share of the debt and the house payment but couldn't financially be responsible for all of it. So after several discussions with a bankruptcy attorney and a lot of soul searching, I decided I didn't want the possiblity of losing our home and working so much that the kids would have to raise themselves. I filed bankruptcy. My credit is toast for several years but all of the debt save the house is gone and I have a clean slate(so to speak).

I hope that explains it better for you Maria. Thanks for stopping by.
