Q: If I have a claim as a creditor in a bankruptcy case and I need to send an "objection to the relief" is there a form?

Or is a letter to the case attorneys enough?? I am in Louisville, KY but the case is in the United States Bankruptcy Court District of Delaware.

A letter is sufficient if it sets out your objection to the claim, is filed with the court and served upon the trustee and the debtors counsel.

Don't ask me! Ask your wife's lawyer!

You have given no underlying facts that support anything, so giving you an opinion is worthless.

In Kentucky since you own the LLC solely it is solely your asset. A Trustee may be able to sell assets of the LLC. If the LLC had other members this is generally not possible for the Trustee.

Yes, we file bankruptcy for just one spouse all the time. The means test does use the income for both spouses to determine whether a Chapter 13 or 7 should be filed but most of the time just one spouse can file.

Q: Put a vacay on a credit card a few weeks ago. Then got denied on our loan so filing chap 13. Will they object.

Truly not a fraud charge, we have never discussed bankruptcy, both work 2 jobs and run a business. But suddenly no one wants to give us a loan to consolidate debt and someone suggested a chapter 13. But this vacation is an issue even tho it was 100% non fraudulent

You’ll have to list it and explain it to the trustee. Probably can be resolved so long as you can show that is not a fraudulent transaction.

In all likelihood, yes. The only problem would be if the two vehicles have a lot of value (equity in the vehicle with the loan). You will just need to continue making the loan payments to keep the second vehicle.

You must disclose all of your assets when filing bankruptcy. You cannot keep this from your husband because he is a co-debtor and Co-owner. He will get notice from the court if not from you.
