Q: How do i get a chapter dissmissed without using a lawyer
A:
If you request that the case be dismissed, the Court will usually grant the request. If you had an attorney help file your case, that attorney is your attorney until the case is dismissed or the attorney is relieved from representing you.
You can write a letter to the Clerk of Court for the district you are in and they will usually process the request. If there are assets that could be paid to your creditors, you may not be able to get a Chapter 7 case dismissed.
You really need to sit down with an attorney to go over what happened in your case to make sure you do not have more problems than you think you have.
