I am very sorry you are going through this. You and Gayle both.

I asked my boyfriend about the bankruptcy questions. He said it all depends on what the bankruptcy judge says. As far as him keeping his car and things. They usually like to liquidate all assets to pay the creditors. Most of the time they will let them keep the car and the house they are currently living/owning. If he doesn't own a home then it might be a little difficult to buy for a while.
Also, you might want to look into anything that has both of your names on it. That could affect you as well.

Exactly as Ellie said, check your state laws. Just google it online and you should find lots of answers.

When Bruce divorced he actually gained friends from the ex. Since she was the one that cheated on him, HER best friend ended their friendship and now Bruce is the god-father of their oldest son. It's sad that some people think they have to choose sides. But in this case it was simple for them to see who the better person was.

I'm sorry you and Gayle do not have people around you to help support you. But you both have plenty of people right here on Pet Talk.
