divorce=bankruptcy=nojob?

[Snakum]

Her student loans are not "community property" as credit cards, property and car loans are.

Dunno 'bout other places, but in NC this statement is not true. When I experienced something similar during my last divorce, my attorney told me a few horror stories about wives intentionally running up debt to skew calculations during the Equitable Distribution hearing, student loans being added to the calcs, etc. In North Carolina, if your wife runs up a debt from the day you're married till the day of your legal seperation ... half of it is yours, no matter where it came from.

Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.

That's one of the funnier things I've read here in a while... "a month ago someone else got tired of the b*tches' sh*t".

I've never heard of a state where one marriage partner's STUDENT loans were EVER split between the two in divorce proceedings, unless, as someone else mentioned, you've consolidated them into a 2nd mortgage or other personal loan.

Before you go filing bankruptcy to get out of them, better ask your BR attorney, 'cause per some federal laws that were enacted in the late '90's, even in Bankruptcy Student loans are not dischargeable...

I asked a lot of these same questions after getting into a large amount of debt with a family business, and ended up having to file reorganization. Remember, it's the unsecured debt that is the big write-off item; if you want to keep houses and cars and you don't have much unsecured debt, bankruptcy isn't much help.

As far as credit checks? I've been told by the AIR, Inc people that most regionals don't run them, most majors do, and just about every reputable Corporate outfit ALWAYS does and BR can be a big negative, so be prepared to explain it and show that you had tried all available means of debt consolidation, debt/credit counseling, reduced repayment plans, EVERYTHING, and had NO alternative to maintain a place to live, a car to drive, and a way to put food on the table.

Good luck,,,

Just got back from the property "mediation"!!! And very good news...The B!tch got HER student loans(30k) and the credit card (I told her we did not need) and the dept on the car. So basically things worked out okay. Like I told my parents (who have been there from day one and helped me above and beyond the call of parents) I did not win the war (neither of us did because no one wins in divorce) but I won the important BATTLES!!! I am left with my flight loans to pay and a credit card I did have access to use so on the whole I came out a lot better than I could have. The problem with her side was She kept bad records and I could prove all the amounts and smacked her around with the true number amounts. To get out of her student loans I used a "increased lifestyle change" (meaning she would have to pay me money each month) so she backed off the payment of student loans. So no bankruptcy in my future...again thanks to the Board for advice and support...and trust me once we sign the "final" document I will Work my ass off in the airplane and on the ramp(a great employee of a "regional"airline)to pay off my flight loans and move on...maybe I'll find a flight attendant to shack up with?

 

[porra]

Good for you!!
I'm happy to hear things worked out O.K.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

...maybe I'll find a flight attendant to shack up with?

Out of the frying pan and into the fire man. Congrats though, glad it worked out.

 

[Lear70]

Good to hear, glad that a bad situation wasn't made worse.

One piece of advice: DON'T DIP YOUR PEN IN THE COMPANY INK!! Been there, done that, very bad juju... Find some OTHER company's F/A to shack up with!

Good luck!

Sorry to be disagreeable. Dip it wherever there is a willing place to dip it. If the current well has a problem with it move on to the next ink well. What kind of pilot are you anyway?

 

[Lear70]

The kind of pilot that d*mn near got fired after a F/A went postal... Thank God she torpedoed herself before her b.s. got me in any hotter water than I was already in.

It only takes one allegation to end someone's career. Don't believe me? We have three pilots fired from PCL in the last year for "alleged" events. One of them had been dating the F/A for a YEAR when she decided to ruin his life 'cause he didn't want to run off and get married.

I decided that Mesaba's flight attendants looked a LOT more appetizing after those three guys got canned within 90 days of each other! Plenty of willing ink wells over there... Just remember to wear your socks!

 

[House_X]

"F"-that...find yourself a rich ole' broad...bang her real good...she'll take care of you...and you'll be set for life when (not if) your furloughed. The F/A thing..."fa-get 'bout it"...too many road miles on 'em...

As soon as I find out where the rich ole' broads are hiding, I'll send out an IDENT for all the broke F/O's...like me...

Hate to tell you VMC Hound, you may not be out of the dog house yet.

Had a new hire classmate of mine got married and then divorced one year later. She was spending him blind on credit cards and running off to Vegas with her boyfriend while he was on trips (using his passes, no less). She ran up $120,000 of joint credit debt in secret and wanted to stick it all to him in the divorce.

Thankfully the judge had none of it, and ruled that the vast majority of the debt was hers, divorce granted, case closed. She promptly filed bankrupcy herself, and the credit card companies turned to my friend and said "Pay up!"

His lawyer said they could win against the credit card companies, but it would likely cost him years in court and much money in legal fees. He recommended bankrupcy as the best way out, and my friend finally agreed.

 

[Lear70]

Won't work on the student loans, those are hers, but he might be screwed on the credit cards if he ever had one in his name on the account and signed for anything.

Divorce sucks... just buy a prostitute every once in a while to "scratch the itch" and fly as much as possibe.

Wasn't there an unofficial booklet going around a while back about how to hide your money offshore as a pilot without tipping your partner off on it?

 

[MDPilot]

You miss my point. In my friend's case, it didn't matter to the credit card companies that the cards were never used by him, it didn't matter that the divorce judge said he wasn't liable for the debt. They were going to come after him anyway, and hope he would rather pay than fight. On advise from his attorney, he ended up chosing the third option, bankrupcy.

 

[Lear70]

No, I didn't miss the point. Read it again, I agreed with you with the student loans being the one exception...
