Q: Do I have to show up for “hearing on motion for judgement on the pleadings” if I am still awaiting my discharge papers?
In Southern California. Filed for Bankruptcy on 10/19/2017, had my meeting with the trustee on 11/22/2017 and my objection for discharge date was 1/22/18. When I view my docket report in pacer it doesn’t show any objections that I can see.
A: If you properly notified the creditor that had sued you prior to your bankruptcy was filed (which I assume from the content of your question), you do not have to appear at any scheduled hearing in state court. If no one filed anything in your case either objecting to your discharge or seeking nondischargeability of a particular debt by the deadline, the notice of discharge will soon be entered and a copy sent to you and the creditors.
A: The advice given is very good. If you filed without an attorney you should consider a consulation with one now just to make you have crossed the t's and dotted the i's properly.
