Can we cancel the chapter 13 we started and just wait until June and file the 7 again since we can’t afford the payment?

Rex K. Daines
Answered by attorney Rex K. Daines
Bankruptcy lawyer at OlsenDaines
Yes, a chapter 13 is voluntary, which means you can dismiss it at any time. If you otherwise qualify for a chapter 7, you can file a chapter 7 immediately after the chapter 13 is closed. There must be 8 years between the filing date of the prior chapter 7 and the filing date of the new chapter 7.

Is it possible to strip property liens that were discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Loren Paul Zahn (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Zahn Law Office
Generally, no. While I have seen some case law which suggests that it may be possible strip liens from a residence, the general rule is that lien-stripping is only allowed in chapter 13 cases.

Will only my husband be responsible for the property after bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Loren Paul Zahn (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Zahn Law Office
The issue is that by not making the payments, your husband's ex-wife has damaged his credit already. You would need to consult the marital settlement agreement (or other divorce documents) to determine what rights your husband has to the home. Generally, I recommend taking over the property, but that might not be possible. You cannot, however, file a chapter 7 after a chapter 13 discharge. If she does file a chapter 7, however, and relinquishes her right to the home, the only protection that your husband has is to take over payments and take possession of the home (or file for chapter 7 bankruptcy himself to absolve him of this burden). I practice both family law and bankruptcy, so I can help with these issues. Please contact me for a free consultation.
