If gift of car does not cause a problem, is there a recommended time to do so- such as after his meeting? Does he have to notify the court upon receipt of the gift? What steps do we need to take to ensure he doesn't mess-up his eligibility? Thanks.

Father in law was the main signer on our car. He has filed bankruptcy and my husband was the second signer. What happens to my husbands credit score if they end up taking the car in the bankruptcy?

You will have the option of continuing to pay and keeping the car even though the main signer filed bankruptcy. As long as you continue to pay for the car, husbands credit will not be affected.

This question (or rather, these questions) are to complex and convoluted for anyone to make sense out of. I suggest you get someone to help you compose a legible explanation in chronological order, eliminating unnecessary commentary and then post it as a new question(s).
Im expexting over 6k back

If you have exemptions left, you may protect some or all of it with your exemptions. If not, the trustee will likely distribute it to your unsecured creditors. You should discuss this with your babktmruptcy attorney immediately.

Unfortunately, if you reaffirmed the debt, you’re stuck paying it unless you can. Egotists some kind of settlement with the lender. Consult your bankruptcy attorney for options but I think you’re going to have to pay for it.
