Webinar: Understanding Bankruptcy for Divorce Professionals
March 23, 2022 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
1 Participatory MCLE Credits; 1 Legal Specialization in Family Law
Bankruptcy and divorce often go hand-in-hand. Besides bankruptcy, there are often other debt and credit issues that come up and resources are needed in these areas. Between credit cards, student loans, taxes, business loans, and other debt, there are all kinds of traps that divorcing couples run into when working through the process of separating. This program is designed for divorce attorneys and professionals who want to better understand how bankruptcy and collections law integrates with the divorce process, both before and after final judgment. An overview is provided of the most recent update to bankruptcy law, the types of debt handled in different kinds of bankruptcies, and reviews the differences between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 for individual and sole proprietor debtors. We will also review red flags and parties behaving badly examples to lookout for during divorce proceedings.

Jennifer Lee is a bankruptcy attorney (or as she likes to call it: a debt and credit strategy attorney) and is licensed in CA and ND.
Law was a second career for Jen, after working for ten years in insurance and underwriting. She opened her own law firm straight of law school and realized that her undergraduate degree in business and an MBA made a huge difference in running a law firm as a business. She often speaks at bar associations, professional groups, and other trade associations both on substantive issues for bankruptcy and debt and on law practice management.
In addition to running a successful law practice, she loves figuring out ways to help other lawyers innovate and move the practice of law forward. Sometimes, it means creating new client processes, or coming up with a totally new product, or even developing client-friendly packages that make it easy to buy. She teaches lawyers to escape the billable hour, be happy, and make money with their law practices.
