"Octomom" Nadya Suleman had her bankruptcy case thrown out of court on Tuesday after she failed to complete and file the paperwork required, court records show.
Suleman's request for bankruptcy protection had put a temporary halt to a foreclosure auction of her La Habra home. "I have to do what's best for my children and I need a fresh start," the mother of 14 said when she filed for bankruptcy late last month.
Suleman acknowledged in that filing that she had nothing to pay her water and electric bills, her mortgage or her children's school costs. She estimated that she owed at least $500,001, and maybe as much as $1 million.
But she failed to include a dozen financial documents and statements that were required to accompany her filing. The bankruptcy court gave her until Monday to get them in, a deadline that came and went with no word from Suleman, court records show.
The court dismissed the case on Tuesday and lifted the temporary stay that had blocked the foreclosure sale, records show. That means any creditors with a claim on Octomom can once again come looking for their money.
Suleman listed 21 of them in her bankruptcy filing, including the former owner of her La Habra house, her father, Kaiser Permanente, Sparkletts Water and her electric, gas, television and wireless companies. She also listed a Christian school and a pre-school in Whittier and Sylvan Learning.
An agent who represents Suleman did not respond to an email seeking comment from her or from Suleman.
Suleman became instantly famous in January 2009 when she gave birth to eight babies after already having six, all conceived through fertility treatments. She has no steady employment, although she has made some money in recent months by posing for topless photographs and accepting calls on a "dial-a-star" line.
She had sought protection from her debts under a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, in which a court would use whatever assets she has available to pay off her creditors, likely only pennies on the dollar. She signed a statement as part of her court filing acknowledging that she may have no available assets to pay off her debts.
