- Child SupportAny source of income can be considered for qualification under the Chapter 13, such as regular wages, self-employment income, rental income, alimony, child support, pension income, social security, disability, government assistance, cash income etc. Overall, the goal is to prove that you have sufficient income to fund the proposed plan.
- Spousal SupportIn a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your child and/or spousal support obligations will not be discharged because they are considered a priority debt. However, if the trustee sold any of your assets, the proceeds would be applied to your domestic support obligations before non-priority debts (like credit cards). Therefore, you may still come out of the bankruptcy owing less than before.

- BankruptcyAttorney William Johnson founded Acclaim Legal Services in 2003. He decided to study law based on a strong desire to help and advocate for people in distress that would benefit from a compassionate, yet professional attorney. Ultimately, this was the same motivation for founding our law firm. Bill’s intent was to establish a Michigan bankruptcy law firm known for providing outstanding customer service and the best representation and resolution for bankruptcy and debt matters.

- Debt CollectionIf you find yourself receiving calls from a debt collector, the first step is to explain to them you cannot pay what they want. It may help to explain why you have struggled to make payments if you feel comfortable enough to do so. Take as many notes from your phone call and do not commit to any terms or conditions set forth by your creditor. Do not give them your personal information or admit that the debt is yours. You also want to make sure that you do not provide bank information over the phone. Unfortunately, there are many fraduant attempts and scams in the debt collection industry.
