VerifiedHello and welcome! My name is ***** ***** I am a licensed attorney and will try my best to help with your situation. You will likely be offered a live phone call by the website. It is not from me.
.
There may be a short delay in my responses as I type out an answer or reply as I am an actual independent practicing attorney, not an employee of JustAnswer.
.
If you would like a call, another attorney will provide that service. I only work on the website. and prefer to type my responses so they are in front of you.
.
if the judge rules in my favor can i file bankruptcy and keep the house
.
Unfortunately no... the alleged son wouldn't be a creditor.. he would be an heir.. Bankruptcy only discharges debts and creditor claims... not the legal claims of heirs..
.
If he turns out to be the biological or adopted son, both of you would split husband's estate.
.
I am very sorry that I don’t have better news, but please understand that I do have an ethical and professional obligation to provide customers with legally correct answers based on my knowledge and experience, even when I know the answer doesn’t make the customer happy...
