Can I file bankruptcy on custody battle attorney fees?

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
You can usually discharge your own legal fees in a bankruptcy. But the next time your ex brings a suit to harass you, you will probably not be able to find a family attorney to touch your case with a 10 foot pole.

If the bank is sueing me for overdraft fees, am I violating my Chapter 13?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kevin W. Bruning (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Bruning & Associates, P.C.
Are you sure you are being sued? Did you receive notification of a lawsuit in the mail or via a process server in person? Or are you just getting notices in the mail or on your bank statement about overdraft fees? Did the overdraft exist before you filed for bankruptcy, and they are just suing you for it now? There is a lot of information needed in order to tell you how to handle this situation. If the overdraft existed pre-bankruptcy, and they are actually suing you now, you should probably see if you can include the money owed in a modified chapter 13 plan, though you may have to answer for why they weren't listed as a creditor when you filed originally. If they were listed on your bankruptcy but didn't chime in until now, they may be in trouble for attempting to collect against you. If they are just fees that you are seeing on your statement because you became overdrawn at one point, then it's an expense you can probably pay and try not to incur in the future.
