OK..how should I begin..well here goes:
My ex-husband filed bankruptcy. He owed me about $10,000 at the time. I knew about the bankruptcy and even talked to the trustee, but was never listed as a creditor by my ex. My attorney said I would be wasting my money getting listed as a creditor because of his living expenses versus his income. So I did not file to be listed as a creditor.
Is there any way to reopen the bankruptcy now to be included as a creditor since I wasn't listed?
He was able to reduce the child support by more than $1,600 shortly after his bankruptcy was complete. His higher obligation was included in the bankruptcy so he isn't required to make payments to creditors. Btw, the reduction in child support was made retroactive so he didn't have to pay me anything for 8 months. He filed for the reduction in child support the same month he filed bankruptcy but the bankruptcy matter was resolved before the child support matter was resolved.
Yes...apparently at the time his lawyer was better than mine!!!
If I were included as a creditor I believe I could ask to reopen due to the extreme changes in circumstances...from what I understand from reading things on the internet. I am not listed as a creditor though.
What should I do...is there anything I can do?
Thank you for your advice and help. Can't afford lawyers right now..
