Our IVA failed and me and my ex husband were made bankrupt on Dec 4th 2008. While we were in the Iva my ex husband was made redundant with a large payout. He didnt declare the money and he has now spent it(We were not together at the time). For this reason a trustee was appointed for our bankruptcy. I had my meeting with the OR last week and i havent been given an ipa as i have less than £100 left over at the end of the month and im hoping for an ED. As it was a joint Iva are me and my ex husband now dealt with seperatley or will i have to wait until the trustee has sorted out my ex husbands affairs before i am discharged from bankruptcy. My ex husband spent the money on property abroad with his new partner.Can i also add that i was entitled to part of the payout as we were still married at the time. We were in the middle of a divorce. I have since accepted a large percentage of his pension plan through the courts as compensation.
in bankruptcy your case will always be dealt with seperately form your partner / husband - ex or otherwise. That said, as there are clearly legal issues regarding the spending of the redundancy money it is likely that the same senior member of staff will deal with you both.
If your ex confirms that you had no involvement with the spending of the money, and the examiner can find no wrong doing from your direction, I see no reason why your discharge would be held up because he is dealing with your ex's more complicated issues.
