What is the name of your state? Kansas.
my wife and I are going to have to file bankruptcy. I was diagnosed with Cancer last December and the surgery has left me disabled. I lost my good paying job and was awarded disibility. Although I have not recieved any money from disability yet we have been fighting for it almost a year now. my family consists of 5 people and we are living on just what my wife is bringing home. We had to stop paying on anything that wasnt a necessity (Rent, Car, insurance, utilities, fuel) we havent paid a bill in months(after taxes my wife brings home about $1255) this has totally ruined our credit and no way to pay these bills off.
Disability will be sending me a lump-sum of backpayed disibility. If we file for BK will the court take the Disibility money ? I have always trield diligently to pay my debt, but I see noway out of over $1000,000 in medical bills. Should I keep the money out of the bank so I dont show it? (if thats illegal I wont do that). Just confused as to how the bankrupcy works.
