Yes. Bankruptcy takes precedence over your divorce in general. If you begin filings for a bankruptcy during a divorce, it can delay the distribution of marital assets and liabilities until the bankruptcy is completed. Bankruptcy handles debts tied to a person’s name or social security numbers affecting how debts are handles during your divorce. A bankruptcy court deals with your income differently depending on whether you are divorced, married or separated at the time the case was filed.  The bottom line is both cannot be done at the same time, you have to finish your bankruptcy before a divorce can be finalized.
