And, if you re-answer or submit your response, make sure a copy is also placed in your case file. A judge will often look at a file before deciding on a motion. Did you file your response to the original interrogatories with the ourt when you served your response upon the plaintiff's attorney? I'm not saying that my comments have any legal merit, but I do see judges ruling on motions based on "the information before them." Make sure that the court has a copy of any information, response, etc that you serve on the plaintiff.

If you were in my state (Oregon) you would be paying a lot more than the answer fee at this point. Every motion or response you file costs money. If you know you cannot win here, then there is no reason to put up a fight. It will only add a great deal of money to the final judgment.

Others are correct here. It seems you need to file BK 7 now, rather than later. If nothing else, you may need to pay an attorney fee to dig you out.

As always, I am not an attorney, but a great deal of "law" is common sense. And, common sense is not something you always find on web-based forums. Don't let others advise you on how to proceed on legal matters unless they are BAR members of your state. Take all advice as that; advice! Cheers!

I did file my initial interrogatories with the court, even though in AZ. it is not necessary. I also initially paid my BK attorney a consultation on this matter. They told me that the plaintiff attorney would probably get a judgment, then when I went in to see them about retaining them for the BK, this is when I received a letter from plaintiff attorney stating that they wanted the interrogatories resubmitted, with a different response. My attorney told me not to have anymore contact with the plaintiff attorney, not to send them anything else that they would call them & advise them that I retained them for Bk purposes. now this, I have been watching this on the court docket site everyday & I know that they must have filed a motion to compel in Dec 10, but they must have filed another motion to compel again, this time with the judge signing the order. I am awaiting word from my BK lawyer on what to do now.
