I have received an email and a modification to my credit report.
I just found out my ex-husband is filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy. A credit card that he agreed to pay at the time of our divorce (6 years ago) is included in his filing. I understand the creditor has the right to collect the debt from me, despite the divorce decree. Can I pay the debt and sue him for... View More

If they obtained the default after you filed bankruptcy, then you may have a claim.

No. The child support lien makes child support the senior lien.

Likely no, bc the child support liens are senior. Consult an experienced attorney who can help you protect the property.

The USDA loan will probably be non-dischargeable. You can file separately without your husband.

Yes, the filing of the bankruptcy will stop the garnishment and may even result of the sheriff returning any funds he has not turned over to the judgment creditor

You sign the contract after the bankruptcy is filed, making it a non dischargeable post petition debt. It is not misleading at all. You are not required to pay any attorney fee until after the bankruptcy is filed.

Yes. The sibling can sued and, if a judgment is obtained, the debt will act as a lien on the property.
I recently started a company with around $80K of my own money as a 65% partner. The partner of 25% bought things in the company name and my personal name without my approval saying she paid for these only to find out months later they haven't been paid for and they're in my name.

It depends on the terms of the plan. If payments thru the plan were sufficient to pay the mortgage in full, then it will be paid off. If not, then there will be some amount of the mortgage still owed.
I have no income, separated from husband, five kids and job hunting. Wage garnishments orders are also coming in the mail. All my debt is credit card debt.

It sounds like you may need to file a chapter 13 to save your home. Contact a competent bankruptcy attorney to guide you through it.

You didn’t fail to complete Chapter 13, you converted to Chapter 7 and received a discharge under Chapter 7. Unless that debt was secured, it was discharged in the chapter 7.

Yesterday I tried to close an account at the bank that my mom who died in July of this year had left me. It was 100,000.00 and was already in my name. The bank kept 26,000.00 of this money because they were named in the bankruptcy in 2003. Is this legal?

You should consult a bankruptcy attorney. Depending on your particular set of facts, it could be a violation of the stay.
