Q: What is a motion of relief, from an order dismissing a bankruptcy case and where can I find the fourm to file it?
I filed for bankruptcy and the case got dismissed because I didnt include a summary of assets. But the notice I got saying the case was dismissed said I have 14 days to "file a motion for relief from this order". I've searched all over the internet and can not find the form for a motion of relief so I can file it.
A: It sounds like you filed your bankruptcy without the assistance of an attorney. This is the sort of dismissal that is easily avoided by retaining an experienced bankruptcy attorney to assist you from the get-go. I would consult a bankruptcy attorney in your area now, before that deadline expires.
A: Consult a local bankruptcy attorney to file it for you and get the case reinstated before your 14 days are up.
