I filed and received a discharge for a chapter 7 in 2009 that included documentary stamps that were outstanding in Florida.

If it was truly discharged that is a violation fo the automatic stay and you can go to BK court to sanction them.  YOu need to be careful though because many types of debt owed to the State of Florida would be Non-Dischargeable priority debt.     YOU WILL NEED TO CONSULT A LAWYER to analyze the obligation and why it is not being considered discharged, as well as if you have the right to pursue sanctions.

What happens if my husband files for bankruptcy and I am getting an inheritance?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Sheryl Susan Graf (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Sheryl S. Graf
If your husband is filing separately, he is required to disclose all of his assets, including his interest in undivided community property assets, in his bankruptcy proceeding. Your inheritance assuming it is kept separate and not commingled with community funds is your separate property. Your separate property inheritance should be safe from being seized in your estranged husband's bankruptcy proceeding to pay his debts. Assuming your assets may ultimately be divided in a divorce or legal separation proceeding in the future, you should probably consult with a family law attorney to do some pre-divorce planning and assure that you don't handle your inheritance in a manner that could convert its character. The information presented here is general in nature and is no substitute for specific legal advice, nor is it intended to create a lawyer/client relationship.

Can I file for bankruptcy alone?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Jeffrey Solomon
You can file for bankruptcy for yourself. You cannot file any other way since you could not file a joint case with an ex spouse.
