Is there a time limit to get a case number after you have retained a lawyer to avoid creditor contact?

Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
The case number is issued after your case has been filed. If you hired an attorney solely to avoid creditor contact, and not to file a bankruptcy, there would not be a case number. If you did hire them to file bankruptcy, then the time period depends on what you and the attorney agreed to.  What does it say in your retainer agreement?  Have you provided the attorney all the requested documentation and information for them to prepare your case?  Have you paid all the fees?   I am not really sure what your issue is and there's too much missing information to guess.   Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

If I file chapter 7, will my husband be responsible for my debts. Or is divorce a better option?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
Unless your husband was a guarantor or a co-debtor on your debts, he will not be legally responsible for your debts if you file for bankruptcy.

If a creditor withdrew their claim after I objected to the claim can that person now sue me in a local court?

No. They can only pursue their claim in bankruptcy court. While the bankruptcy continues, they are barred by the Automatic Stay from purusing you in State Court. After you receive your discharge, the Discharge Injunction (which replaces the Automatic Stay), will prevent them from purusing you in State Court.
