Generally, you can file a Chapter 7 after a 13 either 6 or 8 years from the date the 13 was filed. The difference depends on the amount you paid your unsecured creditors through your prior 13. You should discuss this in person with a knowledge bankruptcy attorney.

Not necessary. Typically you would need to advise the Chapter 7 bankruptcy Trustee and court/creditors of such windfalls of money when received within 6 months. Your case is more than 2 years old.

Is there a way to know if the judge will accept a Chapter 7? How?

You qualify for a Chapter 7 based on income. The "means test" is based on your state. In Ohio, a single personal can file Chapter 7 with an income under $44,000 per year. The test is based on your actual income for the past 6 months. So say a teacher who makes $60,000 a year but has zero income for the 3 summer months in September would qualify (last 6 months would have 3 months of $6,700 and 3 months of zero - monthly average would be $3,350 or $40,200 a year) but in April, they would not qualify. You qualify for a Chapter 13 by having a regular income (meaning you have income every month) and not more than $380,000 unsecured debt (like credit cards) or more than $1,150,000 of secured debt (mortgages and car loans).
