I decided not to file chapter 7, can I get my money back?

Answered by attorney Christian Frederick Paul (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Christian F. Paul
Ordinarily, the attorney would have a written fee agreement signed by the client before taking any money. If you have an agreement, check it to see whether any payments made are considered earned even if you do not file a bankruptcy petition after all. Even if that is not part of your agreement, if your attorney did work worth $500 before you changed your mind, she would be entitled to the payment as the reasonable value of her work. You might ask her what she did and how much she thinks it is worth maybe she will give you a partial refund. Good luck.

Judgments are dischargeable if the underlying debt is dischargeable. For example, a family law child support judgment is not dischargeable.

If there is property damage after you no longer own the property contact the new owner with the information. It is not your responsibility to pay.
