I don't have a bankruptcy attorney. No one would take my case since I had an appeal pending in the supreme court. I do have an attorney for the supreme court and district court. I just wasn't sure what I should file. If he starts receiving the disbursement from the bankruptcy court... View More

I realize that there may be some facts that I don't know, but based upon what you've told me it would seem reasonable to dismiss your Chapter 13. If the "district court" judgment and the QDRO are final, it would appear that your ex-spouse has been paid in full. If, as you say,... View More
I have credit card debt and I live on social security and I've gotten in over my head. Please give me some help.

That seems very straightforward. I am going to assume that you have exhausted your nonbankruptcy remedies.

I cannot speak definitively as to what happens in Michigan since I am not licensed in that State. However, I will assume that it is likely similar to the way that we handle these matters in Missouri. You wrote that you "will be getting the money" that your husband contributed to his 457b... View More

I am not licensed in Texas, so I cannot give you a definitive answer under Texas law. Nevertheless, the laws of many states are similar.

This seems straightforward. You stopped payments on the auto loan and turned in the car. The car was probably sold for less than what you owed on the loan and now the lender is suing for the balance - a deficiency. If you are in a position where your basic living expenses meet or exceed your... View More
