The court will want to know who else is present in the child's life—who is the child's caregivers and how close are they to the child.

What does Chapter 11 bankruptcy entail?

Image
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy is a legal procedure in which the assets of a person or business are evaluated, placed under the control of a trustee , and then used to pay creditors. It's often used as a last-ditch effort to reduce the overwhelming debt of an individual or business, but it's not appropriate for everyone: The process requires time and money, and it has substantial consequences for credit, assets, etc. Bankruptcy is generally divided into two types (or "chapters"), depending on whether the debtor's assets are liquidated or sold off. In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the debtor's nonexempt property is liquidated (sold) and the proceeds are distributed to creditors. In Chapter 11 bankruptcy , the debtor remains in control of their business operations while reorganizing their debts under court supervision.
