Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Kentucky
objection to discharge
I was divorced several years ago and my ex-husband was to pay off and eliminate our joint credit card. He did not do this and continued to run up debt. I tried to remove my name and was unable to. He was ordered to send letters to credit card co. and credit rating agency. He has now filed bankruptcy I want to stop him from being relieved from this debt. How do I file a complaint? Will this affect my daughters child's support payments?

Re: objection to discharge
Current child support is not affected by bankruptcy at all. However, under current law (prior to Oct. 17, 2005), marital credit card debt which was assigned to one party in a divorce can be discharged. Filing an objection to discharge in bankruptcy court is quite literally federal court litigation which should not be attempted pro se unless you have expertise in such handling such cases. Hire an attorney who is knowledgeable both in bankruptcy and on its affects in the context of family law obligations.
