Refugio, TX Bankruptcy Law Firms & Lawyers

The case number is issued after your case has been filed. If you hired an attorney solely to avoid creditor contact, and not to file a bankruptcy, there would not be a case number. If you did hire them to file bankruptcy, then the time period depends on what you and the attorney agreed to.  What does it say in your retainer agreement?  Have you provided the attorney all the requested documentation and information for them to prepare your case?  Have you paid all the fees?   I am not really sure what your issue is and there's too much missing information to guess.   Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau. 

It depends what type of bankruptcy you file and why type court ordered payment it is. If it is a support payment, such as child support, spousal support or alimony, no bankruptcy can discharge this obligation. However, if it was a property settlement or debt division order then those can be discharged in a chapter 13 bankruptcy after plan payments have been concluded.

You need to sit down with your attorney or a attorney to review the petition that was filed, the proofs of claims that have been filed and your current income to see if you can modify the plan payment. If this is not possible and you stop making your payments the mortgage company can file a Motion for Relief to get the house out of BK and foreclose on it. I would work on a game plan to keep you in the house as long as possible at this point. But it looks like retaining the home is not possible if you cannot afford the mortgage payments.
