The help of a bankruptcy attorney is the key to<br \/>\nsuccessfully navigating the complexities of any type of bankruptcy. With the legal advice and<br \/>\nassistance of Behm Law Group, Ltd. attorneys, we can help you understand how lawsuits will be<br \/>\nhandled when you file for bankruptcy in Redwood Falls, MN.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not unheard of for someone to be working through multiple legal proceedings at the same<br \/>\ntime, and bankruptcy is no exception. If you\u2019re considering filing for bankruptcy but you are<br \/>\nworried how it may affect another lawsuit or court process you\u2019re currently working through or one<br \/>\nthat you suspect you may encounter soon, Behm Law Group, Ltd. can help you determine<br \/>\nwhether entering into bankruptcy is the right choice given your situation.<br \/>\nThe most common lawsuits individual consumers encounter can often be handled at the same<br \/>\ntime as a bankruptcy case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Domestic Disputes:<\/strong> Divorce, child support suits, alimony claims, and other common domestic<br \/>\ncourt actions will have little to no effect on bankruptcy proceedings. This means the court will<br \/>\nallow both processes to continue, without staying or suspending the domestic disputes, until the<br \/>\nbankruptcy concludes. The exception is that some courts will delay discharge and debt<br \/>\nreorganization results until final divorce settlements on property are determined.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Criminal Proceedings:<\/strong> Because criminal cases are handled through local governments and<br \/>\npolice powers, they\u2019re often unaffected by bankruptcy proceedings. For violent crimes, theft, and<br \/>\nother common criminal allegations, a bankruptcy filing won\u2019t interfere. However, if the criminal<br \/>\nproceedings involve other money and property related schemes (i.e. bad checks, fines, fraud)<br \/>\nagainst the government, the potential fines and payments involved are sometimes suspended by<br \/>\nthe automatic stay of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/11\/362\">11 U.S.C. \u00a7362<\/a>. This effectively halts court proceedings until the bankruptcy<br \/>\nis concluded or the automatic stay is lifted for another reason.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bankruptcy-Related:<\/strong> Lawsuits can also arise during a bankruptcy case. While creditors are<br \/>\nprevented from collecting pre-bankruptcy debts when a bankruptcy case is filed and the<br \/>\nautomatic stay is implemented, they can commence lawsuits against you in bankruptcy court to<br \/>\nrequest that their debts not be discharged. Many such claims are asserted under 11 U.S.C. \u00a7523<br \/>\n(Exceptions to Discharge). For instance, a creditor that extended you credit or lent you money<br \/>\ncan sue you in bankruptcy and request a bankruptcy court not to <a href=\"\/blog\/2016-09-13\/debts-not-discharged-under-chapter-7-bankruptcy-in-mankato-mn\/\">discharge<\/a> any debt incurred as<br \/>\na result of alleged fraudulent conduct, such as providing a creditor with a false financial<br \/>\nstatement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other:<\/strong> Lawsuits like foreclosure and eviction are handled from case to case in bankruptcy, but<br \/>\nare often dismissed or suspended as a result of a bankruptcy proceeding. Other common<br \/>\nlawsuits such as building code enforcement and administrative court actions are almost always<br \/>\nunaffected by bankruptcy proceedings. If you want to bring a lawsuit against another party while<br \/>\nyou\u2019re filing for bankruptcy, you can often do so without any obstacles, but you absolutely should<\/p>\n<p>list any such claim as an asset in your bankruptcy petition and related schedules. Sometimes, the<br \/>\nbankruptcy trustee administering your case will have an interest in any such claim and must be<br \/>\ninvolved. However, there are cases when the automatic stay must be lifted to continue with the<br \/>\nlegal action.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re struggling to reconcile multiple legal processes, Behm Law Group, Ltd. can help.
