If I had to sum it up in one word it would be.....Weird,just plain weird.
First off DW and I show up about 45 minutes early to watch some cases before us.
There was nothing really strange or different with any of the cases (that's because weird was reserved for me today.)
Well we are watching and listening and out of the blue my ex wife comes walking in the hearing room and I'm thinking to myself"Just great what is she doing here"?
But I guess she is notified as a creditor because of child support so she drives 4 hours in to come to this meeting for no real reason because she's still being paid the support even though I'm laid off the state just hasn't caught up to me yet but I'm about 1200.00 behind.
So our meeting starts just the usual questions until she asks if we have any lawsuits out there and we said yes,my DW had a slip and fall about 3 years ago and the attorney is just not doing anything with it.
So now shes going over the petition and sees that my attorney put in "unknown" as a value amount on the case.
The trustee was actually really nice and told him to just put in the max which would be $25,000.00and amend the petition and send her the new one with the new value in it or she would have to file a motion to dismiss.
SO Lawyer is getting that done and will mail me the amended petition to sigh and get back to him.(I'll be doing that ASAP)
Now with the ex-wife as I stated she was worried about getting the check every week as she has been up to this point.
The trustee asks if there any creditors for my case and she says nothing.
she tells us thank you have a nice day and I hear the EX tell her live in "Well I don't know what to say"
So she comes rushing the desk of the trustee questioning if she's going to keep getting her child support.
Trustee is trying to explain to her that child support is not dischargeable in bankruptcy.
Well needless to say she wasn't understanding it or what was really happening here she just wanted to know about the money that she was still current on.
So as not to take up more time and set her schedule behind she gave ex a not so pleasant look and barked at her that you need to consult a family law attorney and ask him/her you're questions I don't practice family law.
So I have no idea what she is going to do but I do know she still had no clue what was really happening in there today.
When we were leaving my attorney told me he'll get the paperwork in the mail to sign and get to the trustee and he said we should be discharged within the next 2 to 2 1/2 months so I think I just made acceptance into the 60 day club.
I'm glad it's over.
