When it comes to money, greed is, unfortunately, a common trait. If someone has been planning a divorce for a while, and if that person is so constituted, he or she might devise numerous strategies for hiding money from a spouse and children. With the right legal help, however, wronged spouses can often come away with much of what is rightfully theirs. |

As a strategy, it's more common than you might think: To avoid payment to an ex, some people will go as far as declaring bankruptcy in the middle of their case. If this happens to you, you must hire a bankruptcy lawyer, who will ask the judge to exclude you from the list of creditors who will not be paid. The spouse declaring bankruptcy may find he or she has gained an advantage when it comes to distribution of your worldly goods; but if you take the action you should, maintenance and child support will not be affected by the bankruptcy action. |
