Q: My child was absent 18.5 days what should happen now if I have court about this metter
Stuart Nachbar's answer
Student absenteeism can lead to low academic achievement, dropping out of school, delinquency and gang involvement.

Q: When you get your chp.7 bankruptcy discharge order does that end the automatic stay?

Q: Im late in filing the last credit councelling certificate in my Chapt. 7, will I still get a discharge if it was due
Stuart Nachbar's answer
First of all speak with your counsel if you have one. If you do not, find out if the case is closed. If not try filing same. If it is closed without Discharge for Failure to File the Debtor Education Course, you will need to make a Motion to Reopen to allow the filing of same.

Q: I filed chpt.7 but my automatic stay was removed by the bank, if i convert to a chpt13 do i get a new automatic stay,
Stuart Nachbar's answer
While I agree with the other two answers, it also depends on how the original order lifting the stay was written. The Order could state that the Order survives any conversion. Please seek out counsel in your jurisdiction if you do not already have counsel working on your case.

Q: Is there a lawyer who can help me apply for c7 or c13 I don’t have that kind of money but can pay in installments.
Stuart Nachbar's answer
If you are filing for Chapter 13, then you could put Counsel fees through your Chapter 13 Plan. If you are filing for Chapter 7, fees need to be paid before filing so as to not run afoul of the automatic stay of 11 USC 362
