Annulment

My husband was sadly made bankrupt 6 months ago by one creditor due to historic business debts he has been made liable for. We have a joint property with equity that could pay off the bankruptcy which I understand is in someways, a fortunate position to be in. We are too young for equity release options. We've explored expensive bridge loans with sale exit routes as we cannot find a lender willing to lend otherwise. I cannot afford to pay what's owed alone and don't have anyway to fund it. Lawyers and the OR have suggested annulment as the best option but interested to hear if I should sell without the bridge loan instead. Has anyone had trustees involved and can they force a sale when we have school aged children and the debt is not joint? I have read it on sites such as CAB but haven't yet heard anyone who has personally been down this route. Lawyers and supposed annulment specialists have issued large bills and I'm fed up paying out without a resolution. The annulment court hearings have been repeatedly adjourned as problems with paperwork and proof of debt from smaller creditors aren't forthcoming so lenders cannot commit fully without this. We have paid some smaller creditors off in full as advised but they fail to prove payment - what can we do as an annulment would fail in any case? Any advice would be welcome as I want to ensure we do what's best for our family in the long run, without the need to unsettle and potentially uproot us further away from family/school as what we would be left with, would force us outside our local area due to affordability. Are there other options we could explore? Many thanks.
