Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Georgia

Bankruptcy

My husband and I are filing a chapter 7 bankruptcy in Georgia. During the 1st consultation our lawyer notified us that the court would notify his ex-wife about us filing bankruptcy. She resides in South Carolina. We are up to date on child support and have never been late. The child support is not included in the bankruptcy. Why does she have to be notified? Shouldn't this be our personal business? Please explain if this is a law or something. Thanks!

Re: Bankruptcy

Ask your lawyer about your case and the details. That is why you have one. However, I'll add that bankruptcy is not your "personal business." It is the business of all creditors and people who might be affected, whether late or not, and public record.

Re: Bankruptcy

As I am sure your lawyer explained, she is required to be notified under federal law.
