    Feeling sad and lonely to be honest (and [EMAIL="kn@ckered"]kn@ckered[/EMAIL], as I did make my wake up call at 4:30) and still upset about the rabbits.

    Thanks for the thoughts.

    I'm a contractor.
    I'm divorced.
    I'm bankrupt.

    First and foremost look after yourself. If everyone really does rely on you then it is in everyone's best interests if you are healthy. Do not underestimate the toll on your health.

    Although you love your wife and your children, your feelings for your wife will change. We do not know the reason that she is not standing by you but support is needed by everyone that is going BR, divorcing you doubles that stress.

    Let me know if I can answer any questions on how any one of the contracting, divorce and bankruptcy affect each other. Its difficult to know how to deal with everything, I found it very difficult and still do.

    I've got the contracting bit sorted I think as I can work through my brothers company, and just get a wage from that. I won't be a director and I won't be trading under the name of my current company, as he'll be doing the trading bit.

    More thoughts on divorce and BR to follow.

    Thanks though :)

    Are you in IT? If you are then it can affect how you operate once bankrupt.

    I am, can you tell me how it affects how I operate ? All contracts are business to business so I assumed that I could just use my brothers company to work under or is that a bit simple ?

    Cheers

    I'm no expert but from what you've said - you'll be self-employed, rather than being a director - I can't see how it would be a problem. Here's a previous thread with some information that may help (hope the link works)
