Legal Answers
Q. I have a student loan in va it's not federal but not private . Is there a statute of limitation?
A: The loan has to be either federal or private. There is no other option. Ask for a copy of the promisssory note, if you don’t have it anymore. And a payment history. That’s your first step to figuring this out.
Q. do I need a bankruptcy lawyer
A: Probably a good idea. You don’t know what you don’t know. We do. We can make sure it’s the right time to file. We can help protect your assets. We can advise you against making common errors and help you fix them before you file. I think what I do is important, and necessary. That’s why I practice bankruptcy law.
Q. I receive monthly child support payments. Will I still get them if I file for bankruptcy?
A: Yes, your right to child support payments is not affected by bankruptcy. Also, in Virginia, the bankruptcy trustee cannot take your child support payments away from you, which is not true in every state.
