I am not an attorney.. but, at least here in NY, it is to my understanding Judgments cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. I would suggest doing a google search of the US Bankruptcy Codes. Surely the answer to your question should be easily found:)
Best of luck!
Jack files for bankruptcy in NY on June 1,2007. His bankrupcty is discharged on September 1, 2007.
Jack incurres a debt on August 1, 2007. Can Jack amend his bankrupcty prior to discharge, to include the August 1, 2007 debt?
Let's say Jack and Jill are married. Jack goes into the hospital without insurance. Jill's health insurance covers Jack's hospital stay. The copay for Jack's hospital stay is $500.00.
Only Jill files bankruptcy. Is the co-pay considered a debt of Jack or Jill's?
One step further. Jack...
