I thought that I had specified--obviously I didn't--the states involved are Ohio and Georgia. My son, in Ohio, filed before the change in Federal law. I'm pretty certain he filed Chapter 7, because he doesn't have any kind of payment plan. My daughter is just filing, in Georgia. Again...

Both my adult children have hit on rough patches in the past few years, resulting in both of them filing bankruptcies. Sorry, I don't know what Chapter they filed under, or if it even plays in this situation. Both of my parents passed away in October 2008, less than a week apart. My sister...

Not necessarily what I wanted to hear, but it's pretty much what I expected. But the law school I went to wasn't such a bargain--actually, no better than the med school I went to--so I thought I'd be better off checking with someone who actually knew. Again, thanks for your time and patience.

Thanks. I appreciate your quick response. I do have a follow-up question: Are the judges in bankruptcy cases usually amenable to direct communication with the party declaring bankruptcy in order to collect funds, or must my son continue to go through an attorney. Seriously, if he had the...

This is a long, ugly story, but I'm going to try to make it as short and simple as I can. My son and his ex-wife were married for just over five years, and had a daughter together. In the divorce, he was assigned responsibility for all debt (but the ex was to pay him $4000 for her share of...
