Because of the volume of submitted questions, I am behind in personally answering every single one. I need your help. I am publishing the question below for you to answer. Please help this person by adding your response and advice in the comments section of the original question. divorce and living in a house that’s upside down. Neither one of us will be able to afford the house once we split and these houses are not selling. I have a good job, just need to live a more modest life-style, but can’t really make a fresh start before I get this house sold.
Question Is it better to try and go with a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or to declare bancruptcy. Do I need a lawyer to do the deed in lieu of forcelosure? How long does it take for your credit to recover from each situation?
