Dear Fed Up:
Greetings. You may want to hire an attorney to file for equitable distribution and alimony, if applicable, as the bankruptcy court can also handle your divorce issues. My suggestion is to talk to a bankruptcy attorney and a divorce attorney. Best of luck (and sorry to hear what a jerk he is)
