Family law and bankruptcy section if the divorce does not seek any type of property division the stay does not need to be lifted. A motion to lift stay must be done prior to granting a divorce if one of the parties is involved in a pending bankruptcy. But under 362(B)(2)(iv) if there is not a property division then there is no need to lift the stay. If there is to be a property division the stay must be lifted prior to granting of final divorce decree. Exhibit a A Certified appraisal is valid and Appellant Maryann Castro has the actual value of community at 225,000.

MaryarTn Casjro-pro se Appellant 1501 Olive Jourdanton Texas 78026 8304960133 Pacattitude2014@gmail.com Exhibit a f D-I-V-O-R-C-E The general issues surrounding a divorce and bankruptcy is what type of divorce is being sought and who are the parties to the divorce. Now, I know the second part of that sentence sounds particularly odd, but bear with me. It is assumed by most family law judges a motion to lift stay must be done prior to their granting a divorce if one of the parties is involved in a pending bankruptcy. This is not so. If your client just wants to be divorced from their lovely spouse and does not seek any type of property division, the stay does not need to be lifted. This situation arises primarily when one spouse has not seen, heard from, or has cared where the other spouse has resided for a number of years. What prompts them to seek a divorce after years of peaceful non-cohabitation is their new significant other would like to give a go at this marriage thing and suddenly realizes they cannot marry as your client is still married to someone they have not seen in 10 years. So, in the interest of treating their new significant other as a foreclosure house that needs some renovation to make it more habitable, the push is to get them to straighten out their life in the form of a bankruptcy and a divorce. Think of it as a personal deep spring cleaning; sweep out the old debts and old relationships so this new one can flourish. But, under § 362(b)(2)(iv) if there is not a property division, then there is no need to lift the stay. As a practical consideration, though, convincing a scared, leery ofsanctions, state court judge, the stay does not need to be lifted will be difficult. The slate court judge wants the protection of the stay being lifted to avoid any unpleasant treatment by the bankruptcy judge. If there is to be a property division, then the stay must be lifted prior to the granting of a final decree. The thorny issue for you is that odd statement I made at the beginning of this section, who are the parties to the divorce? If it is your, at one time happy joint debtors, in your chapter 13 bankruptcy, then there may be ethical considerations for you to consider. Issues concerning how the property is to be divided; who will be responsible for paying the trustee fees; whether there will be one joint bankruptcy after the divorce or will there be two; and whether both will stay in the same chapters. Your continued representation of both debtors seeking a divorce in state court could prove impossible if they choose to sever their case with each ending up with their own bankruptcy. How do you reconcile classifications of debt in the new bankruptcies with the adverse effects for who is liable for what debt, innocent spouse liability under IRS regulation, discharge issues as to debts against each spouse, etc. Paying attention to
