If you get a payday loan after your bankruptcy has been discharged, can they garnish you?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Kathryn Tokarska
No. I strongly urge my clients to stay away from the trap of pay day loans. Unfortunately, you are responsible for any debt incurred not only after the bankruptcy was discharged but also any debt incurred after the moment your bankruptcy case was filed.

Does a joint chapter 13 bankruptcy have to be completed before filing for divorce?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Roger J Bus (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Debt Relief Law Center
As long as you are legally married when the Chapter 13 case is filed, you can file a joint Chapter 13. However, if you get divorced while you are in Chapter 13, the Chapter 13 Plan continues on as a joint case. The Trustee will also not get involved as to who is to pay for what in the Chapter 13. It if the responsibility of both parties to make sure the full Plan payments are received. So, for example, you are divorced and then pay in 50% of the 13 payments as ordered by the divorce judgment, yet your ex-spouse pays in zero, your Chapter 13 case will still be dismissed. It is up to you and your divorce attorney to enforce the terms of the divorce judgment- the Chapter 13 Plan will not be split as to payments being made. If the full Plan amount is not received each month for whatever reason, the Chapter 13 Trustee will still file a Motion to Dismiss for failure to make Plan payments.

If I filed for bankruptcy October 18, 2012 and if the case closes before I file taxes can the trustee take my tax return?

Answered by attorney William H Nebeker (Unclaimed Profile)

A trustee can take a tax refund or part of it. A tax refund is considered part of the bankruptcy and the refund based upon taxes paid before you filed bankruptcy are considered part of the bankruptcy estate. You can protect a refund if you are in a state that allows exemptions for cash. It is also possible that the trustee will not take the refund if it is small. You should seek the advice of a bankruptcy attorney.
