Using CC before filing bankruptcy for an unrelated family law issue
Planning on filing Ch 7, meeting with the attorney July 21st. She offers a payment plan and we will probably need a month or two before we can officially file. However, I have a family law emergency involving my child that is time sensitive and I need to act on it with a different attorney. I’m in a really tough spot. Retainer is 2k, and that appointment is on July 13th. I was going to put the 2k on a CC but continue to pay the minimum on this card due to this charge being placed, and pay it off next month. I started doing research though and read that this may be a huge red flag and seem like debt preference? I’m doing my best to research and modify my game plan if it is going to jeopardize the bankruptcy process. Trying to gather some funds to maybe not have to charge the entire 2k, but I’m not so sure that makes a difference.
