Although your bankruptcy left you in the position where all the lender can do to you is foreclose, homeownership comes with additional responsibilities after a bankruptcy ends, and those ongoing responsibilities cannot be avoided by your bankruptcy. For example, property taxes, HOA dues, community maintenance requirements, property liability.

A Chapter 13 will live a lot longer than many marriages, and the fact that the attorney is not meeting your expectations this early in the game indicates that things will only get worse. Frankly, I suspect that you expect more than most bankruptcy attorneys are able to provide and still offer a reasonable fee, but that is beside the point.
