Your question isn't clear. If your bankruptcy case was dismissed, it would not be realistic to expect that a creditor continue to let you slide without paying for your vehicle. If your bankruptcy case was still open, the creditor would have had to have obtained an order lifting the stay or had the stay expire to repo your vehicle. If that didn't happen, a bankruptcy litigator may be able to make a good chunk of change for you for the creditor's misconduct.

Do I have to have my Chapter 13 dismissed to get divorced?

You do not have to dismiss the chapter 13 case. You just have to file a motion to lift stay so that the state court can enter the final decree of divorce and divide up property.

Is it too early to refinance or do we have to wait for the 10 year period?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Thomas Vogele & Associates, APC
There is so much misinformation, most of it urban legend, about what a discharged debtor can and cannot do. There is nothing preventing you from borrowing, refinancing or doing anything else post-discharge. The impediment is the other side of the transaction. Banks often will not lend to those who have filed a Chapter 7 case, at least on terms that don't punish the former debtor for their "transgressions." Bankruptcy itself does not prevent you from refinancing for ten years. A bankruptcy stays on your credit for ten years and thus makes it harder to get a loan, refinance a loan or do anything else that involves checking your credit report. By the way, anyone who promises you to get your bankruptcy removed from your credit report in exchange for a fee is both a liar and a crook that should be avoided and reported to the authorities. Good luck and expect to pay a higher rate than what borrowers with good credit pay.
