Please help!
My husband and I use to have a business together, it went under. Now we are forced to file a chap 7 on both our consumer and business debts. We live in California. I have a few questions, any help is greatly appreciated. I cannot afford an attorney. So I am on my own with this.

Our business was a partnership but a partnership as husband and wife. Can we file as individuals (joint debtors) eventhough we are trying to discharge some business debts?

On the petition can we list our names followed by DBA and then our business name eventhough we would be filing as individual joint debtors?

The voluntary petition asks if we have more consumer debts or business debts. We have more individual creditors under consumer debts but we have more debt (monetary amount) under business debts. So do they mean number of creditors or monetary amount?

thank you for your assistance.

Although you say you cannot afford an attorney, the best advice one can give you is for you to find one so you can have your case properly taken care of and all your debts that qualify for bankruptcy correctly discharged. Try to find an attorney that will work with you when it comes to his/her fee. Good luck to you!
