Will the bank modify the loan to remove the husband's name?

Chances are the bank will not agree to do anything. But the bankruptcy discharge makes it unnecessary to do anything.

Do liens qualify under chapter 7?

I do not know what fee arrangements you made with your attorney, but unless his fee violates the Bar rules, you will have to pay it and he has lien rights against your insurance claim. Attorneys have no control over the limits of the defendant's liability policy. There are thousands of people driving in Georgia with no insurance and most people only carry the minimum amount. This is not your attorney's fault. If you feel that you are being charged too much attorney's fees, you can contact the State Bar of Georgia office closest to you and they will provide you with a simple form you will need to complete and file. You do not need an attorney and they will treat you fairly. The form is probably available on the Bar's website.

Should I still go to the meeting anyway with the current tax return I have already submitted or is it a waste of time?

Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustees usually require your most recent filed tax returns at least one week prior to the meeting of creditor's hearing. However I would definitely attend the hearing and take a copy of most recent filed tax returns to the hearing. What usually happens is that the trustee either reviews it right there or continues the hearing to another date. Definitely attend the hearing if you are interested in getting a discharge.
