However, when you\u2019re facing outright bankruptcy\u2014which can be challenging and stressful enough\u2014it can\u2019t hurt to explore all your options. It may surprise some people to learn there is a section of the <strong>Bankruptcy Code<\/strong> (11 U.S.C. Sec. 523[a][8]) which addresses student loans specifically. It basically states: &#8220;Student loans can be discharged as long as one can show that excepting [excluding] such debt from discharge (debt relief provided through bankruptcy) would impose an undue hardship on the debtor and the debtor\u2019s dependents. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mankatobankruptcy.com\/\"><strong>Behm Law Group, Ltd<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0provides professional <strong>bankruptcy<\/strong> counsel in Mankato, MN in your time of need.<\/p>\n<p>The key term here is \u201c<strong>undue hardship<\/strong>,\u201d a term which only government lawmakers could conjure that sounds ridiculously simple.\u00a0 However, what constitutes \u201c<strong>undue hardship<\/strong>\u201d is a very factually intensive inquiry.\u00a0 In order to establish \u201c<strong>undue hardship<\/strong>\u201d, one must review all of the circumstances surrounding someone\u2019s financial situation.\u00a0 Serious medical conditions, job losses, the likelihood of being able to get higher paying employment and one\u2019s other living expenses and sources of income are only a few factors that need to be considered.\u00a0 Discharging student loans in bankruptcy can be done and, indeed, has been done in many cases.<\/p>\n<p>One example of a fact substantiating \u201cundue hardship\u201d is to show you\u2019ve incurred a disability since graduating from college that prevents you from being able to realistically carry out the necessary tasks that are part of any job aligned with your college degree. Let&#8217;s say you graduated with a degree in astronomy that requires you to look through a telescope, but after graduating you became permanently blind. You may be able to show and convince a bankruptcy judge that this constitutes \u201cundue hardship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re filing for <strong>bankruptcy protection<\/strong>, and you\u2019re interested in exploring whether you qualify for a student loan bankruptcy discharge, you should seek out professional bankruptcy counsel.
