What happens when one spouse files bankruptcy in the midst of a divorce? What about a filing right in the middle of the closing of a purchase/sale of property? How about if the defendant files in the middle of a trial or lawsuit, or the defendant files bankruptcy before the judge/jury rules…..or even after a ruling but before a judgment is signed by the court? This seminar will give the non-bankruptcy attorney the "basics" when they are faced with a bankruptcy, including a discussion of the automatic stay, relief from the stay options, how bankruptcy may impact or completely undo weeks or months of negotiations, trials, and transactions. And the do's and don'ts to prevent contempt for violating the stay in bankruptcy.
