Sign up for PACER, it is a free governmental service, as long as you use less than $15 a calendar quarter. Then sign on at the District Court's Bky Site for the specific district and perform a search. From the Docket you can print copies of the documents filed.

Q: Can my ex-spouse get a judgment for mortgage payments that were previously discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
