Q: I am an American citizen. I have been living in the Netherlands (moved here for work) for over 3 years. I lost a lawsuit in the U.S. somewhere around the time I left to come to Europe. Can I file for U.S. bankruptcy from Europe without returning to the U.S.? Prior to moving over here, I lived in Idaho for seven and a half months (my wife did not move over to Holland for another 6 months after I moved. We maintained our mailing address there until 2009. Before moving to Idaho, I lived in Arizona for just over a year.
A: You can file for bankruptcy in the United States if you maintain a domicile or have assets in the United States. So if you've got a bank account in the U.S. then you can still file here.
I'm a consumer protection lawyer who helps people with their bill problems. The solutions I offer depend on your individual situation rather than being "one size fits all." In trouble? It's time we talked. 
I’ve been practicing bankruptcy law in New York for over 30 years. I will recommend bankruptcy only if it's right for you - not just because it happens to be the field of law in which I practice.
