Can the lean holder file suit against the co-signee?

Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Sure, if there has been a default in payments on a loan that has been co-signed, the lender is free to pursue the co-signer alone...which is why creditors often require a co-signer.

Should I fire my bankruptcy attorney and get another before the 341 meeting scheduled with creditors?

Answered by attorney Rustin Scott Polk (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Polk & Associates
You are allowed to switch lawyers whenever you feel like it. Whether you SHOULD fire your attorney or not is never a clear-cut yes-or-no question. In figuring out whether you want to do that or not, don't focus on what they did or didn't do up to this point. Instead, ask yourself what else you think they should have done, or what you think you've paid them to do but that they haven't done. Then once you know VERY SPECIFICALLY what it is you think they were supposed to do but didn't, ask yourself whether the next lawyer is going to do those specific things or not.

When one files Bankruptcy, does that relieve them of paying a Court Ordered payment through n Divorce?

Marjorie A. Guymon
Answered by attorney Marjorie A. Guymon
Bankruptcy lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
It depends what type of bankruptcy you file and why type court ordered payment it is. If it is a support payment, such as child support, spousal support or alimony, no bankruptcy can discharge this obligation. However, if it was a property settlement or debt division order then those can be discharged in a chapter 13 bankruptcy after plan payments have been concluded.
