We filed 13 bankruptcy in December. Our attorneys have made several mistakes along the way. When it came time to have our hearing to have it affirmed, our trustee said that the payment was too high and they needed to rework it to prove that we can afford it, otherwise they would throw it out. Our hearing on this was last week. They had two months to rework our figures. Apparently, they set ANOTHER hearing 30 days from now to rework it AGAIN. I dont’ understand what needs to be reworked. We only have one income coming in. Also, we filed taxes in Januray, BEFORE the bankruptcy was affirmed. Will we still have to give them half? It sucks that we’re paying on a bankruptcy that may still get thrown out and is not yet affirmed. It’s not fair if we have to give up have of our refund on a bankruptcy that wasn’t affirmed when we filed our taxes. I just don’t understand what is taking so long. What can I do? Our attorneys aren’t giving us direct answers and aren’t returning phone calls or emails. Can I call the trustee to see what’s going on?
Our car is included. We got to keep our house but we were behind 6 months and had to include that rearrage in the bankruptcy.

I live in NJ and looking to file for bankruptcy ASAP. I can easily look up some attorneys in the directory but I want to choose a good one and one that isn’t so expensive because I’m near flat broke. Thanks in advance to all those who answer.

I’m in a divorce that now hit the 4 thousand dollar mark with no end in site. When my husband walked out on us he left me in a big mess. I was a stay at home mom and I hadn’t worked in almost 3 years. He left us with no money or anything. He gets to go live with his rich family who are paying for EVERYTHING and he already told me he has the resources to drag this out till he crushes me financially. Honestly he’s doing a good job.

I’m getting help from the government but it’s not enough to take care of me and two kids. I’m several thousand dollars in debt now and that’s only going to get worse. Should I let my attorney bills pile up and keep adding to my credit card debt and file bankruptcy or should I try to dig out?

What would you do? I feel so lost right now.
My husband won’t agree on ANYTHING. I can’t tell him anything without it costing several hundred dollars to have the attorneys talk for us.

He doesn’t have to pay child support because he doens’t have a job .We live 5 states away and he wants the kids every other month! My babies are 5 months old and 23 months old and he told me before he left he could care less if they live or die. He’s only using them to hurt me.

We filed bankruptcy and on of the cerditors continues to garnish my account. So everytime I get my paycheck direct deposited it’s gone. What should I do?
I am filing PRO SE. I don’t have a attorney because I didn’t have 1500.00 to retain one. I have called several law offices but attorneys don’t seem to ever be in the office. I already turned in all my paperwork and my case worker said my paperwork was all there and looked great. I just don’t know how to stop the garnishments.

I’m a lawyer who is about to go into solo bankruptcy practice in the Eastern District of Virginia and I’m looking to buy bankruptcy software. Should I get BestCase, EZFiling, or some third option? I’m especially interested in opinions from attorneys or paralegals who have tried out more than one program.

Hi. My husband and I have decided that our only option at this point is to file chapter seven and walk away from our home. We’ve sought out many attorneys and have been blown away by how much they’ve asked us to pay. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve wanted to scream, "IF WE CAN’T PAY OUR MORTGAGE AND BILLS, HOW IN THE CRAP DO YOU EXPECT US TO PAY THAT? I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO HELP!!!!" Recently I’ve come across "Do It Yourself" Bankruptcy Kits. They seem to be pretty popular, however I was wondering if there’s anyone out there who’s had success with one. I am of average intelligence and consider myself smart. But are these things difficult to understand? And I’ve heard if you don’t get everything just right, that you could really mess yourself up in the future. I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks so much for reading and responding!

Was told by two attorneys that before I file Chapter 7 bankruptcy I need to be three months in arrears on my minimum payments.What should I tell the credit card companies? The calls are already non-stop.

I am in the process of filing chapter 13. My trustee recommends that I seek the advice of a lawyer. However, a lawyer is not in the budget right now. The trustee says that only a few cases will be successful without an attorney. Are there any trustees or attorneys out there that could give me a few tips for making my own case successful? Any sure fire ways to be sure I am successful on my own with this case? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

After credit counseling filing chapter 7 has been recommended since I am on disability and working only part time. Problem is attorneys I’ve contacted want 00, 500 upfront before they’ll even submit the paperwork. Obviously I do not have this. Legal aid is not available in my county or city for bankruptcy. Can I just get the paperwork from the clerk of courts and do it myself?

One that is not high-volume that serves high-middle to upper class clients for bankruptcy and planning. Any suggestions or other similar level attorneys that could provide us a referral. We don’t want the 00 in and out style. We want someone who is known as one of the best and is accessible throughout the process.

Some one advised me that you could go to court and they have a particular department which guides you through the filing process at a very low cost. But cheap isn’t always the best but I also contacted several attorneys and the going price is ,500 or so. Any advice?
