While you must wait at least 8 years between filing two chapter 7 (11 USC 727(a)(8)) bankruptcies (assuming you got your discharge) you need only wait two years between Chapter 13 cases (11 USC 1328(f)(2)) 4 years between a 7 and a 13 (11 USC 1328(f)(1)) and six years between a 13 and a 7 (if the percentage to the unsecured creditors was under 70%) (11 USC 727(a)(9)).

How do I get by attorney to add asset to schedules in chapter 13 bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
You have provided a lot of detail, but your answer ought to be set out in your fee agreement. I charge an additional amount of money to file an amendment in any bankruptcy case, and I suspect most attorneys do as well. If the split to the property occurred after the bankruptcy was filed, I don?t think you have a problem. But if the split occurred before the bankruptcy was filed, you may setting yourself up for a lot more trouble than you can imagine because the unencumbered 5 acres become potential ?liquidation value? that may significantly increase the amount you need to pay into your plan. Now might be a good time to obtain a second opinion with the best Chapter 13 attorney in your community.

You will probably need to have an experienced bankruptcy attorney help you with the lien strip motion. You may need to borrow money from a relative or friend (if that is possible) to help you do this.
