Personal Bankruptcy Can Give Debtors Much-Needed Breathing Room

A media conglomerate that owns dozens of Massachusetts newspapers and websites filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Delaware.

 

The company that is filing for bankruptcy, GateHouse Media, owns nearly 100 titles, both digital and print, that serve Massachusetts communities like Marblehead, Holbrook, Fall River and Concord.

 

The CEO of GateHouse Media told Wicked Local Brookline (a GateHouse publication) that the filing was a strategic maneuver and not something the company had been forced into. He said the company had a lot of debt that was going to come due in August 2014 and because of a challenging business climate had to take steps to meet those obligations while still preserving itself as a company.

 

Bankruptcy can be a proactive step that puts an individual back in charge of his or her financial situation.

 

Having worked with many Massachusetts families who have gotten turned around financially, I can tell you it is very easy for people to get in over their heads with unmanageable debt and then feel like they are completely at the mercy of their creditors.

 

Bankruptcy can be the answer to this situation, in some circumstances, because it provides you with the space and breathing room they need to right your financial ship.

Jurisdictional Issue in Family Law Cases

Many people no longer reside in the state they were married in leaving them wondering where they can file. At the Law Office of Robert W. Kovacs, Jr., we can help you with these inquiries. If you file in the wrong court, you could be wasting your time and this will also result in your case being dismissed.

 

There are two ways that you can file for divorce in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts:

  1. You or your spouse currently resides in Massachusetts and the grounds for divorce occurred in Massachusetts.

OR

  1. The grounds for divorce occurred in another state but one of the parties has been residing in Massachusetts for at least 1 year.

When you get past your state requirements, you must then file in the county where the spouse resides. Our firm represents individuals in Worcester County and across the Commonwealth.
