How do I file to prevent a debt I am owed from being discharged in chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Angelo Anthony Gasparri
Answered by attorney Angelo Anthony Gasparri (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Gasparri Law Group
If you have a debt for "fraud" you can seek to have that debt declared Non-Dischargeable by the Bankruptcy Court.  Unfortunately, this requires a few steps.  The starting point is the actual Judgment you received.  Did it include findings that the Debtor committed fraud?  How much of your damages were associated with Fraud?   Unfortunatley, more often than not, the state court judgment is not clear.   This will cause some challenges.   In general, there may need to be a lawsuit in bankruptcy to have the debt declared non-dischargeable under 523(A)(4).  You will be suing to prove the exact nature of the debt and how much will survive the bankruptcy.  If it was 100% clear, you will likely find that Debtor's counsel will be working with you to get to a stipulation that addresses this issue.   This is a VERY DIFFICULT process to do without an attorney.  Especially because the bias in Bankruptcy court is that the Debt will not survive discharge.

If i declare bankruptcy, what assets can my creditors come after?

Angelo Anthony Gasparri
Answered by attorney Angelo Anthony Gasparri (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Gasparri Law Group
You should consult with a professional.  A competent bankruptcy attorney will ensure that you NEVER have to surrender assets unless you wish to.  There are rules.  Bankruptcy is actually an acceleation of creditor rights, we are identifying "non-exempt" property that might be available to creditors and protecting it either by the choice of chapter, or potentially redemption.  You have the right to manage your exemptions in a way that supports the goal of minimizing the availability of money to creditors. At first blush, the house is fine, the 2nd may not be.     Depending upon the equity available, you may wish to choose a Chapter 13 filing which will ensure nothing gets taken.  REmember if you submit to a Chapter 7, you are stuck with the result, a chapter 13 gives you flexiblity and power and leaves you in control

What happens when my fiance is using my checking account to pay personal bills?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
No, simply because your checking account was used to make payments does not cause you to have a personal liability for the debts. Your fiance should contact a bankruptcy practitioner to determine whether or not that would be a potential avenue of relief.
