Question about business account and new job offer

[Dilly]

We are not talking a lot money. We have a 2004 Hyundai, 2005 Kia and a 1983 Ford (my daughters car).

Thank you for all your help, I am going to visit the lawyer today.

It's very important that our address is kept secret, and that no one can locate us through DMV or utility records. We cannot put the cars back in his name. If we tell the lawyer about the cars is it possible they can stay in the name of the LLC? I understand it's a crime to lie, but at this point I would back out of the bankruptcy, or chance being found out and dismissed, to keep my daughter safe.

Regarding your fear for your daughter's safety:

You do know bankruptcies are public record, correct? Your daughter's name will be redacted - but hubby's address will be able to be seen by anyone with a PACER account that knows his full name.

They don't have our home address. We use a private address that is not ours. Everything goes to this alternative address, mail, drivers license etc.

I have another question. We moved from a state that does allow federal exemptions to a state that does NOT allow federal exemptions. My husband has only lived here for two months. I think what I am finding out is that he has to follow the laws of the previous state since he has been here less than 2 yrs?? Is that true? If so, the federal exemption should cover the cars, no?

Each state has a residency requirement for bankruptcy. Check on the requirement for the state you are in now, he may have to file in your previous state or just wait out the period. If nothing is documented as far as address goes how will you prove residency for the new state? Also, if he files in his previous state you are aware that he will probably have to go back for the 341 meeting in another month or so to attend? Good Luck!
