Our divorce was finalized 7 months ago, and the judge ordered him to pay me some money. I am wondering if he still has to pay me or not, and what do I need to do next? I have tried to call bankruptcy lawyers, but everyone I have talked to says they work for the people that declare bankruptcy, not... Read more »
Most divorce settlements are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. You need to consult with an attorney who can review your agreement, determine what type of payments he owes and then give you advice.
My ex-husband filed for bankruptcy and listed me as a creditor. Our divorce papers says he needs to pay me a certain amount of money, and he filed for bankruptcy afterwards. The filing deadline to object to discharge or to challenge wether certain debts are dischargeable is 5/17/21. Please, help!
It’s not likely his debt to you will be discharged anyway, but you can file a handwritten object with the court snd the trustee just to be safe.
Will the trustee allow me access to the funds designated for repairs to the property to make it livable?
You need the trustees permission to accept the offer.

Probably. One would have to examine the debt and see what the actual award was for to properly answer your question. Take the judgment to a competent bankruptcy attorney and let them analyze the dischargeability of it for you.
All payments still count toward debt.

I was unemployed for about 9 months in 2015. Which resulted in me filing Ch. 7. I just learned I could have filed a separate motion to have my loans discharged possibly. Can I do that now if I can prove that I lived in poverty from 2015 to 2017 and was unable to repay the loans.

My Mom is incapable of handling her debt . Can I file BR and include her debt I am cosigned on ?
You should be able to file a bankruptcy case for your mother under the authority of a suitable power of attorney in the instance where she does not have the mental capacity to participate and handle her own filing. The U.S. Trustee, which is the branch of the Federal Government that monitors... Read more »
Depends on what chapter bankruptcy.
28th. What if I decided to ask for the chapter 13th to be dismissed. Would I have to return the vehicle?
No, but they’d be free to repossess it if you fail to make any future payments.
What is the required happenings to a victim to be considered an attempted battery?
This question should be posted in the criminal law section. Probate deals with deceased estates, guardianships, etc.
Do I have to contact the trustee in order to sell my house? What would happen if I sold the house without contacting the trustee?
You need trustees permission!
You should clear it with the true before you use it.

Call the trustee ASAP and tell him you need a list of everything for turnover. If no response, go to his office.
Yes, although this is not a bankruptcy question.

If you used an exemption to protect the money in your account, that should not be a problem. Consult your bankruptcy attorney to ensure the money is protected before you spend it.
Isn’t the $600 a week in UI considered stimulus money?
The stimulus check is not income. The $600 per week in UI is income.
So I had a lawsuit against me ( Collection from debt Buyer ) and after I filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy the case changed to ( Dismissal with Prejudice ) can you please tell me what does that mean and is it good or no ?
Thanks
That means it is all over, kaput, done, a dead soldier, whatever. "prejudice" means the end, "without prejudice" means it is probably on the back burner.
Good Luck

First thing you do is go hire a good bankruptcy lawyer.

Yes. They cannot take any action against you regardless bc of the automatic stay. The status may not be changed until after your bankruptcy is discharged, but you are protected regardless.
