If a co defendant has received a bankruptcy stay in our case, can I still get a fair trial without him?

Answered by attorney Thomas Anthony Vogele (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Thomas Vogele & Associates, APC
Whether a party is an indispensable party is not a bankruptcy question, per se. In this case you should have your lawyer seek a stay of the action against you until such time as your co-defendant can participate in a trial. A finding of fraud would render the plaintiff's claims against your co-defendant non-dischargeable and the plaintiff's lawyer should be considering filing an adversary action in the bankruptcy court or seeking relief from stay. Meanwhile, your lawyer needs to do whatever he/she can to postpone trial so your defense can be asserted.

If my lawyer did not include my car lease in my chapter 7, what should I do?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
The car lender is lying to you about taking the car if your payments are current. And it is too late to obtain a reaffirmation, which by law must be submitted to the court before the discharge is entered. You should have read your entire bankruptcy petition before it was filed and let your lawyer know that a creditor was missing, if in fact it was missing. Look at Schedules D or G of your bankruptcy paperwork to determine whether this debt was included. If not included, it is now too late to make any changes. Talk to your own lawyer about the repercussions of this mistake of yours.
