If the case is dismissed, then everything is back at square one.
Whether your judgment is valid is a decision that must be reached upon examination of all the facts--both procedural and substantive--by your own lawyer there in California. Your facts are too specific to ask a lawyer to... Read more »

Where's your lawyer?
He is the one who should be doing battle with the bank. Bank's don't cotton to customers, but they are somewhat fearful of good bankruptcy lawyers who will take them to the lick log.
No lawyer?
Find one!
Good Luck

No
The states of the U. S. recognize a duly done marriage from wherever if it is done within the laws of that place. If you have a marriage certificate you're fine

Owner of business wants to sell company and business assets to me. Business debt is greater than asking price. Asking price takes care of owners personally guaranteed debt, and there would still be $80,000 in an outstanding EIDL loan. Would I be inheriting the debt with the company? Or should I... Read more »

I was let go from my job in 8/2019 due to retaliation. In 11/2019 I filed a complaint with the EEOC but it was dismissed due to it being out of their scope, the company was too small. Long story short the company I worked for had filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy which is still in process. Prior to being... Read more »
The best thing you can do at this time is to consult a bankruptcy lawyer that has no relationship to the pending matter.
This is too convoluted and involved to address in a Q&A column like this.

I have credit card debt and I live on social security and I've gotten in over my head. Please give me some help.
Why are you so sure you cannot afford a lawyer?

The member 8-9 years ago was in chapter 13 and represented a loss for the lender. Can they asked the member to re-pay the old balance that was cleared and discharged from CH13?
They can ask, but they cannot demand. Mr. Winterstein set it out succinctly.
May I suggest that you consult an independent mortgage broker. They are usually equipped to handle oddities, and like casualty insurance agents, they can "shop the deal".

You really need a California lawyer to respond to this question, but under traditional common law principals (which may not be so common in California) a lien for debt does not arise until it has been reduced to judgment. Thereafter there is a process, pretty much unique to each state, on the... Read more »
I don't understand your question.
Please add a bit of detail
How can I get his name off the discharged mortgage? I have the quitclaim deed and divorce paperwork showing it is mine. Im sick of him being able to access mortgage info as well as things being mailed to him from the bank. The property is in VA.
You can only accomplish this by refinancing the mortgage. Now is a good time because the rates are so low.
The bank has no obligation to release the lien of the mortgage unless it was stripped in bankruptcy.
Good Luck: go see a lawyer.

Probably is probably not good enough!

On the car in the bankruptcy payment. My car was totaled. The trustee collected the check from the insurance and my relative is financing the car for me since I had to have a car. Was the trustee supposed to get this check. Trustee ‘s office will not answer calls and have not for months.
Without reviewing your files, it is hard to give you a direct answer, but there is no excuse for no return of calls.
You should contact the U. S. Trustee in Dallas. Check out this website

I have a gas and oil lease with company and company has file bankruptcy U S Court Houston, TX. And I am trying to file form 410 but having a problem understanding a question. Need Help
The simple answer is to hire a lawyer.
The Bankruptcy Code is every bit as arcane and complicated as the Internal Revenue Code and it is not a field for amateurs.

Sure you can. I am sure you had it insured as required by law, so have at it. You should notify the trustee because you may need to finance the purchase to some greater or lesser extent
