What can I do if my bankruptcy case was dismissed?

Michael O'Leary
Answered by attorney Michael O'Leary
Bankruptcy lawyer at Hayward, Parker O'Leary
It really depends upon the facts surrounding the dismissal. You are not eligible to re-file a bankruptcy case for 180 days if (1) the case was dismissed because you failed to abide by Bankruptcy Court Orders, or (2) you voluntarily dismissed the case following the filing of a motion for relief from the automatic stay. In most other circumstances you could re-file immediately, although you will have to jump through a few hoops to get the automatic stay extended beyond the 30 day period after the re-filing. This may or may not be a problem, depending upon the type of bankruptcy that you file and what you are hoping to achieve by such a filing.

Whether you will lose your assets depends on the following:   1.  What assets you have 2.  What their value is 3.  Which chapter you file 4.  What exemptions you have available under applicable laws in your case to protect the value in your assets.

If I file chapter 7, will my husband be responsible for my debts. Or is divorce a better option?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Reger Rizzo & Darnall, LLP
If your husband is a co-signor he will be responsible. If the debt is solely in your name he can not be held liable.
