An individual can file Bankruptcy without the ex-spouse's consent after divorce. You might want to review his bankruptcy filing to see what happened to the house. If it was sold to pay his creditors, this may have an effect on your credit rating. He probably couldn't refinance the mortgage to get your name off the loan.

If my Chapter 13 got thrown out, can I file a Chapter 7?

David Michael Benson
Answered by attorney David Michael Benson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Benson Law Firm
The waiting period for filing a Chapter 7 case: 1. If you received a discharge in the first Chapter 7 case, you have to wait 8 years from the filing date before you can file another 7. 2. If you received a discharge in a prior Chapter 13 case, the time limit depends on whether you paid back more than 70% of your unsecured debt in the prior case. If you did, there is no waiting period. If you did not, you have to wait 6 years after the filing of the 13. 3. If you did not receive a discharge, there is no waiting period. The waiting period for filing a Chapter 13 case: 1. If you received a discharge in a prior chapter 7 case, you can file under chapter 13 case at any time. However, if you file the 13 within 4 years of the date you filed the 7, you will not receive a discharge. (Some do this anyway to catch up on a mortgage arrearage.) 2. If you received a discharge in a prior Chapter 13 case, there is a 2-year waiting period - but since nearly every 13 takes longer than 2 years to complete, this rule rarely applies. 3. As with filing under Chapter 7, there is no waiting period if you did not receive a discharge in the prior case.

Can a bankruptcy attorney pull fees from employee 401k plans if the company has gone bankrupt?

Charles J Schneider
Answered by attorney Charles J Schneider (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Charles J. Schneider, P.C.
The person pulling fees from the 401K plan to administer is not a bankruptcy attorney per se but most likely a Trustee whose attorney fees must be approved by a Bankruptcy Judge to do so.
