I just want to make sure that they don't turn off my cell service itself. I just want to try getting the phones on the installment agreement discharged. On the installment contract it also lists a plan ID #. I just want to make sure that I put down the right number.
Both my car payments and building payments are able to be kept up to date and while I do own horses, I am not the one that pays for them. My mom pays for their care, so they don't fall under my husband and I's financial responsibility

Unless his name is on the deed, he has no claim to the property. He will likely be released from the promissory note on the house, but as long as you make the payment, nothing should happen to you.

Currently renting for $1500 a month. Parents want to put small down payment on owner financed home for us. How long do I have to live in home before filing chapter 7?
answered on Jul 20, 2019

Any number of things can happen: nothing, foreclosure, surrender, or government seizure. However, if you don’t reaffirm the debt, you just walk away debt free.

What am i suppose to do to keep the car if he files for bankruptcy?
answered on May 17, 2019
It depends on the lender, but in most cases as long as you continue making payment as required you'll be okay to keep the car. If the lender is Ford, they will probably demand that your cosigner reaffirm the debt. That person would need to talk to their lawyer about that.

He told no one that the car was “spousal support “ in our divorce. Isn’t this fraud or legal in his bankruptcy filing.

First question: car payments = child support? I don't understand. If a judge actually ordered this quid pro quo arrangement rather than monthly payments, I would be surprised. So, the short answer is that in all states it is illegal to try and bankrupt child support, can't be done.... View More
An explosion caused me both to lose my house and to be liable to a person for her injuries on my property.

They may pay the money into escrow and then let the court decide who gets the money in the underlying suit or they may pay you directly for the loss, given the fact that the claim against you is disputed and unliquidated. It’s really up to the insurance company.
