Chrysler Group’s Fortunes Turned After Bankruptcy

Call: 888-297-6203 Almost 3 years back Chrysler LLC and Fiat S.P.A. formed an alliance that wasn’t announced formally till Chrysler declared bankruptcy. Fiat eventually purchased around 30% shares of the Chrysler Group. Though they wanted to buy 51% stock, this wasn’t possible since Chrysler owed the U.S. Government debts which needed to be repaid before the purchase could happen. Despite their sticky situation, Los Angeles based bankruptcy law firm Recovery Law Group says, the Chrysler Group reported a profit of $183 million which is a dramatic improvement from their $652 million loss incurred during 2010. Though, they have [...]

Your Family Size Matters In A Bankruptcy

Call: 888-297-6203 When you file for bankruptcy, the Jacksonville Bankruptcy Court, considers the person who lives with you and the treatment of that person differs depending on the bankruptcy chapter you file for.

Homestead in Bankruptcy

Call: 888-297-6203 It is fortunate to have equity in the home in Florida, as it offers one of the most generous exemptions in a homestead in the United States.

However, states like Pennsylvania have no exemption in the homestead at all. In Florida, the property should either be 1-half acre (within the municipality) or 160 acres (outside municipality) to be eligible for a homestead exemption. This benefit is largely [...]

Child Support in Bankruptcy

Call: 888-297-6203 Automatic Stay is one of the most powerful effects of bankruptcy filing. It has the power of stopping the lenders from pestering and making collection attempts from the debtor.
