If you ex filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy then those fees are included in his repayment plan set for in his Chapter 13 Plan. You may want to retain an attorney with bankruptcy experience to review the plan and your rights with you to ensure you receive any monies due.

Should I wait until my divorce is final and then file for bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Kenneth Allen Parker (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Kenneth A. Parker, PC
It depends on your current financial situation. You may want to go ahead and file now, but it may make more sense to wait until after your divorce to file. A big factor would be how aggressive your creditor are acting. Are they calling you at home or on the job? Are you currently being sued by any creditor? Another factor would be your current monthly income and if you would qualify for a Chapter 7 or 13. From your question, it sounds like you are not divorced yet. If you are still married, you may want to consider filing a joint bankruptcy, which might make sense if he is going to lose the house anyhow. Most bankruptcy attorneys don't charge extra for a joint case and you both could split the fee to file. If the pending divorce is amicable, a joint bankruptcy may make it more amicable in the long run because there may not be any money issues to haggle over other than Child Support and/or Alimony.

Am I eligible to file a chapter 13 if I was discharged from one before?

Answered by attorney William Edward Zurinskas (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at William Edward Zurinskas
In almost all cases, Yes. To file a chapter 13 after a previous Chapter 13 (with discharge), one need only wait 2 years between filing dates.
