Stay at home moms are the most vulnerable spouses in a divorce. Adding the possibility of bankruptcy on to the already stressful situation of divorce, the stay at home mom can find her future looking scary and uncertain. If you are a stay at home mom and are faced with divorce, you need to seek the expert guidance, counsel, and representation of a qualified bankruptcy attorney. Your future and your children’s future will ultimately depend upon the choices you make now.

A stay at home mom who has been financially dependent on her husband finds herself in a burdening situation during a divorce. In many cases, a judge will not force a woman to find gainful employment while her divorce is pending. However, this is not a guarantee. Under careful guidance, stay at home moms can begin looking into employment options. Children must be cared for and financially supported through a divorce and bankruptcy. Because the stay at home mom is generally the one providing care to the children, a judge will typically order temporary spousal support. This financial assistance will allow the mother to purchase groceries, clothing items, and the ability to take care of her own necessary expenses.
