The stay does not pre ENT him from paying maintenance nor is it a legal justification to no pay. In most jurisdictions, however, modification if granted are retroactive to the date of filingvof the motion. You filing s contempt motion for nonpayment May be in order.

Strategically, which is preferable before creditors' meeting: filing an objection to confirmation or motion to dismiss the petition? What are the pros and cons for the pro se creditor?
answered on Jul 8, 2019
Please try to stop asking and re-asking the same question over and over. You have already been told that you can file a motion to dismiss the entire case at any time.
As to whether you should wait until after the first meeting of creditors to move to dismiss is your choice to make.... Read more »
Can I file a motion to dismiss before the creditors' meeting, or do I have to file an objection first? I haven't filed anything yet.
I am a creditor in chapter 13 bankruptcy filing (2nd time around) and want to know if I can object to the petition and also make a motion to dismiss in one document -- or do I have to make two separate documents? If it's two separate documents, the objection would go to Debtor and Trustee on... Read more »

Two separate documents. Objection in one and Motion to Dismiss in second. Serve all motions on the trustee and debtor.

You can, but probably not a wise idea unless your 13 repayment plan is 100%.

Please accept my apologies if my professional advice was insufficient or came across as "nasty." I wish you all the best in your effort to collect on the general obligation bonds issues by Puerto Rico.
I own these P.R GO BONDS. I cannot understand the paperwork i received. please help me understand what is required of me.

Anyone with enough money to invest in general obligation bonds issued by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico should have enough time to call their bond broker and ask them to explain what is happening to all the bondholders.

I finished a Chapter 13 plan (in Massachusetts) 6 months ago. I had claimed approximately $4000 in property taxes under the plan, my down filed a proof of claim for $2600.

If they filed a proof of claim for $2600 and you paid it and completed the plan, then you don’t owe the money. You need to put this back in front of the court and get an order against them for violating the stay.
Hello All,
My Sister who is doing her masters here in USA, She applied for a car loan and received a bank cheque. We ha
filing of Ch 7 -not support related & not found in contempt- I didn't list him as a creditor because he wasn't at that time, but I did serve him notice of my filing at the time - and he had already filed the motion for legal fees - but the judge didn't issue ruling for over 2 years -

You will have to reopen bankruptcy and add the lawyers a creditor. He should have been listed as a creditor in the original filing even though the amount owed may have not been liquidated at the time.
Told by CFO they are bankrupt. How & where do we file a claim? Have searched bankruptcy filings but can't find anything. Total owed is $5000. Thanks, Joe G.
answered on Dec 15, 2018
You will have to find the bankruptcy filing. Once located you can file a proof of claim for her wages in that proceeding. She is a creditor so if she hasn’t received notice of bankruptcy filing, they probably haven’t filed.

answered on Oct 24, 2018
You should inquire of the Trustee in their bankruptcy how and where to make payments and how and where to obtain your title.
allow me to purchase something with my debit card because of the bankruptcy,is that legal
answered on Oct 22, 2018
Yes, it is legal, to deny a purchase due to previous filing. Not part of the listed banned discriminatory actions prohibited by the code.
The only significant debt was the mortgage arrears. We are starting the trial modification and are unsure whether or not we need to continue paying on the Chapter 13 while in the trial modification.
answered on Sep 26, 2018
Yes you need to keep paying the chapter 13 trustee to remain the bankruptcy.
