Pretty much the worst and most foolish move anyone can do. One of the most basic of things to understand. Retirement accounts are exempt from seizure in BK. As soon as you remove the money, it is available and will be taken by creditors...AND you will incur a huge tax bill too, that won't be discharged in BK. That you didn't know this means you absolutely must GET INDIVIDUAL PROFESSIONAL HELP TODAY!!!! Really, don't walk out of your house, talk to anyone, do anything at all until you have gotten actual help.
Yes, you can file a Bankruptcy if you have a retirement account. Most retirement accounts are not considered to be part of the bankruptcy state, and are out of the creditors' reach. This includes traditional 401(ks), IRAs, government retirement accounts such as CalSTRS and more.
Retirement funds are exempt, but if you take them out of a qualified retirement plan and put them into a regular account, they are no longer exempt. Get some good advice from an experienced bankruptcy lawyer before you do anything.
Absolutely. It being exempt from creditors is a main benefit of qualified retirement accounts. Not "absolutely." Properly established IRAs are protected up to one million dollars, and a bankruptcy court can extend that higher. Any money that you withdraw from an IRA, unless it is all placed in another IRA or a 401(k) or other qualified retirement plan, is not protected.
