Shawn W asked:


We have completed our first of five years of a chapter 13. Unfortunately, our marriage is not doing well and we are separating. I am hoping things can work out, but if not, is it possible for us to switch to a chapter 7 and get a complete fresh start so we can both be able to walk away from everything and start over? It is in the State of Ohio.

I am not sure what the laws are in your state but in Tennessee, you are allowed to convert from chapter 13 to chapter 7
