The auto accident debt should generally be treated as any other unsecured debt that can be discharged under Chapter 7, unless you were driving drunk at the time of the accident. There's a special provision of the bankruptcy code that prevents discharge of debt incurred because of drunk driving.

If a creditor withdrew their claim after I objected to the claim can that person now sue me in a local court?

The question depends on whether you received a discharge. If you received a discharge the creditor cannot sue you. That is a violation of the discharge injunction. Visit with your attorney regarding how to proceed forward. If you did not receive a discharge, yes, that claim, assuming no other defenses, could be pursued in state or other court.

My heart goes out to you and your current situation.  I am located in San Antonio and practice in both federal bankruptcy and state family law.  Depending on the situation, it may be better to divorce first then file separate bankruptcies or it may be better to file a joint bankruptcy first.  I'm worried about your residence though.  You will need an attorney in your area to help lay out a plan before you do anything.  If you live in Bexar County or a surrounding county, email me back and I'll set up a time where we can talk in detail about how you should proceed.   Kennethwake@sbcglobal.net
