Almost two years ago, divorce forced me to return my auto because I could no longer make payments. I'm currently receiving two allotments from my ex: one from the Federal Government and one from the State of Texas. I have a very small Social Security payment also. And four times a year I receive a small dividend. The money I owe for the auto is my only outstanding debt. I can't decide whether to file bankruptcy or not. If I'm sued and taken to court, can either of the allotments be garnished? If my ex dies, both these allotments go away and I will be living on my Social Security of $556 a month (providing there IS Social Security at that time). Will I still be responsible for the debt if the allotments cease before the debt is paid? Thanks for your help!
