Chapter 7 is not an option for us. We do this and we will be ruined, and will never be able to get out from under it. How we got here is a discussion for another time. We have seen a few lawyers and have been unable to find one yet who will work with us to stay out of this type of filing. If we go this way we could lose just about everything we have worked for for the past thirty years. It could even wipe out the equity we have built up in the house. Debbie has an appointment with another lawyer, a friend of her sister. We drove across town to get to her office, and waited probably another hour. We saw her and explained out situation, and she thought she might have a plan for us. We listened to what she said and agreed to sign an agreement with her. She had asked if we had any other lawyers engaged and we didn't. We had just let the previous one go. So we were in the clear to start with her. She outlined a plan of action, and it looked much better than the other lawyers' plans. We wanted to get started as soon as possible.
