Foreclosure set to go forward on Octomom: Should she lose her children?

A judge threw out "Octomom" Nadya Suleman's bankruptcy claim Tuesday
after she failed to file the proper paperwork to show she can't pay as
much as $1 million in debt.



That means creditors can move to collect what they say they're owed, and
a pending foreclosure can go ahead against the La Habra, Calif., house
Suleman lives in with her 14 children, according to The Orange County
Register ( http://bit.ly/KMFV8L ).



Suleman's case was thrown out because she didn't file a dozen financial
documents and statements required to prove bankruptcy. In her initial
filing April 30, Suleman estimated that she owed as much as $1 million
that she is unable to pay.


















Suleman had sought protection from her debts under Chapter 7 bankruptcy,
which means a court-appointed trustee would have liquidated her assets
to pay off creditors before she is discharged from most of her debts.
According to the filing, she owed money to more than 20 parties,
including utility companies, her father and a Christian school.



A representative for Suleman did not immediately provide comment.



Suleman is an unemployed single mother who became famous after giving
birth to octuplets in 2009. Her octuplets are the world's longest living
set.

    Based just on the simple fact this woman s not stable mentally nor financially.Certainly no asset to those children.It's one thing to make a mess of your own life,but to put these children through it is unconscionable ,reckless and I believe dangerous

    Filing bankruptcy isn't always the best strategy. Sometimes a
    debt consolidation company can offer a better alternative, but if there is no hope of every repaying, then a chapter 7 liquidation plan may be the only alternative.

    That is a sad case. I hate to say she should lose her children, but she's not able to take care of them. I think the doctor who implanted all those eggs when he knew it wasn't the thing to do should have to be responsible for helping with the financial aid for those children.

    So all parents that go into foreclosure now lose their children? Wow what a government control your life concept. Good thing we don't live in a democracy.

    Not due ONLY to homelessness. There are shelters that can help her and the kids.

    But from what I have heard that is the least of her issues and the rest of the rumors if true are haircurling. IF the things I have seen are true then YES she should lose her kids.

    She had them in order to trap a man who didn't get trapped anyway. Strange duck for sure.

    Sorry, but anyone who deliberately has multiple children and is unable to properly take care of them but spends money on other activities or haircuts, should not be allowed to have her kids and allow them to live in bad conditions. I would never do that to my kids if I knew they would not have a decent life and living conditions, better to tie your tubes then bring children into the world and then feign inability to pay your bills. tied tubes

    I think her reasoning was that she'd land a reality show like Jon & Kate and the Duggars but by the time her litter was born most people were already getting sour on this type of show. It really breaks my heart to think about these children being seperated because they've bonded with each other.
    What kind of lawyer drops the ball and doesn't file the correct paperwork? Seems fishy.

    Lots of people loose their homes, and their children are not taken away. This woman needs help, I wish there was a fund or something to donate too.

    This whole case has been strange from the beginning. I feel bad for the kids, being dragged into such a mess. they didn't ask to be famous, they didn't ask to have such a troubled mom. She should have NEVER been given the medical treatment that allowed her to have so many kids without a way to support them. Hopefully, there will be enough families that can adopt the kids close together so they can still grow up with each other.

    And there is the eternal conflict. There is no good answer I feel. The mom, and possibly the dr depending on how the law is written, should be criminally charged with neglect but I wouldn't sentence anyone to the treatment received in most psychiatric hospitals

    I actually worked in one for 3 years.....not a good environment for sure......but maybe putting them in an uncomfortable element is what they need to pound some common sense into their heads....what they're doing now isn't working for sure.....
