Gossip Girl Star Filing for Bankruptcy
Kelly Rutherford, star of the TV show Gossip Girl, filed for
bankruptcy this
week after a lengthy and costly divorce from her ex-husband, a German
businessman based in Monaco, France. With almost $1.5 million reported in legal
fees, Rutherford found herself with more debt than she could afford.
She also owed about $350,000 for income tax and more than
$25,000 to credit cards. Her total debts are estimated to be over $2 million,
and her monthly income is only around $1,200.
If Kelly Rutherford’s situation sounds familiar, it’s
because it’s a common story across America. All too often, people find that
their income cannot come close to paying off their debts, especially when faced
with a long, expensive custody battle in a divorce.
Many people feel ashamed that they’ve reached a point in
life where bankruptcy seems like the best option. The truth is bankruptcy helps
many people out of their overwhelming debt every day.
A bankruptcy attorney can evaluate your full financial
picture and help you make an informed decision about the best plan to get debt
free.
If you thing bankruptcy could be the right solution for you,
contact an
experienced bankruptcy attorney in your area.
