Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Re: File Bankruptcy During Pending lawsuit

Bankruptcy would discharge the debt if it is not the result of fraud or intentional harm to another.

Re: File Bankruptcy During Pending lawsuit

Yes, you can discharge any obligation to that creditor, so long as the nature of the obligation you may owe them doesn't fit a category of non-dischargeable debt. Speak with your Bankruptcy attorney regarding what types of debts are non-dischargeable, and the process that is involved in the court's determining which debts can and cannot be discharged.
