answered on Nov 8, 2013

Do you mean adversary complaint against the debtor for non-dischargeability of claim. ON the hearing notice , 341(a) meeting, there is usually deadline to file complaint for dischargeability of claim.

I would recommend contacting an attorney to seek case specific advise at your earliest.
