Can I file a motion to revoke my child's father's Chp 7 and convert to Chp13?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Alan Emmerson Ramos (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Alan E. Ramos Law Offices
Involuntary Chapter 13s are not allowed as it is a violation of the 13th Amendment. You can consider filing a motion to reopen his case and then file a motion to revoke his discharge, but not to convert the case. You should talk to an attorney who practices in front of the judge assigned to the case.

If I live in one state but I am moving to another state will I be able to file for bankruptcy?

Sally J Elkington
Answered by attorney Sally J Elkington (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Elkington Law
There are lots of rules about venue and domicile in bankruptcy. Assuming you've lived in California for the last 3 years: If you move to Arizona, you must live there at least 91 days before you can file there, but you'll have to use the exemptions from California. There are laws now (thanks to OJ Simpson), that restrict a debtor from "venue shopping". So even if you move to Arizona you must file in Sacramento (Eastern District of California) in the first 90 days of living in Arizona. And, you'll have to return to Sacramento for the meeting of creditors. And, lastly, in that first 90 days it has to be in the Eastern District of California, and not any other District. You should get a good attorney that understands cross state exemptions, or just save yourself some time and possibly money and file in Sacramento.

My co-signer is filing bankruptcy. Where does that leave me?

Yes. Their bankruptcy has nothing to do with your obligation to pay those loans. You must continue to pay these student loans. They are NOT dischargeable in bankruptcy. You must pay them until you die.
