My case has several rare-ish characteristics and I'm wondering if there's any way to try and locate similar cases.

It seems strange that there isn't a way to search the content of filings or at the very least the text description on the docket report. Even just filtering for only joint...

... after discharge, but while the case is still open? I want to buy a house with a loan from my 401k.
Do I have to tell the trustee ? My case is an Asset case .

Another person farms the land and we receive $0 for this - we just call it an even trade for keeping it mowed! Anyway, listed in BK docs at a total value of $79,000. Taxable...

I was hoping someone who might have been in a similar situation or has any knowledge of what to do may be able to help us out. We're filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy. My husband has a truck. When he purchased the truck his grandmother was the buyer and my husband was the co-buyer. The registration is...

I don't know if I should file chapter 7 now or after I get a bonus at the end of July.

My company traditionally pays a bonus at the end of July for the previous fiscal year. The past two years the bonus was sizeable ($12,000 after taxes and $8,000 after taxes). I am no longer in sales...
