Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California
In May 2012, my partner and I signed a Domestic Dissolution Settlement where she agreed to pay me. I agreed to small payments. Suddenly she filed Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in January 2013, sighting me as one of the creditors. I need to know what documents to file to fight this. She agreed to our settlement and then put stops on the payments. I was told that she was required by law to pay this and now she is filing this. Please let me know.

Insufficient info to anwer a question like that, or the question is to broad and vague. Our website has a lot of info http://www.absolutebankruptcy.org
Mr. Andersen is correct. We would need to review the DDS first before assessing whether it is excluded from the Bankruptcy stay.
I agree that not enough information has been provided. You should see a local attorney with experience enforcing creditor's rights in bankruptcy to review the document to see if you have any legal remedies available to you.
