San Jose Bankruptcy Attorney  comments on the bankruptcy and alleged divorce plans of Josh and Susan Powell.

Susan Powell, a Utah mother who has been missing since December 7, reportedly had made financial plans in the event her marriage to Josh Powell ended in divorce, or he attempted to kidnap her two sons and empty her bank accounts.  She even went as far as opening up a separate bank account and shared the information with her friends in the event that something happened to her.

Josh Powell filed for bankruptcy protection citing more than $200,000 in credit card, student loan, furniture and other debts.  The couple had entered into marriage counseling where they had set definite milestone goals for Josh to meet or Susan would leave him and file for child custody of their sons. The milestone goals had an end-of-the year deadline for Josh to meet or the divorce proceedings would commence.

Josh Powell has been named as a person of interest in Susan?s disappearance.  Police are suspicious of his story of suddenly leaving to take his 4 year-old and 2 year-old sons camping in the winter in a snowstorm and leaving Susan at home.  During the 24 hours he was gone, his rental vehicle was driven several hundred miles but the GPS system was deactivated, giving investigators little information on Josh or Susan Powell?s whereabouts.
