Finally Did It! Chapter 7

I was always great with my payments and I had a credit score in the 700’s but after going through a separation a couple years back and having to start all over with my kids it felt like I was barely making ends meet. I was able to gather a retainer fee last year in November and met with a well recommended lawyer. Well I got my taxes and paid off the rest yesterday and I am now gathering my paperwork to file! I have about 20k in debt and two judgements I am ready to get rid of. Any tips/advice/ or just your general journey through it is highly appreciated. I am located in California so if you filed here that’s a plus!
