Legal Question in Bankruptcy in New Jersey

Deposition after Pro Se Answer to Complaint

I recently answered a complaint filed against me following my chapter 7 filing. Now that I'm on my own in defending myself, the attorney who filed the complaint contacted me saying that he intends to take my deposition as a form of discovery, as well as my family's depositions. Can he do this, and if so am I expected to answer everything he may ask? Can I or my family refuse this? If he asks questions that I feel are off topic, can I refuse to answer them?

Thank you

Re: Deposition after Pro Se Answer to Complaint

I do not understand what you have written. If you filed a bankruptcy, that should wipe out the debts you had on the date of filing (so long as you went through the whole bankruptcy process and the bankruptcy was not 'dismissed' or terminated before completion).

You should be asking your bankruptcy attorney these questions. If you would like to consult with me, you could, but you would have to pay for it. What you have written does not make sense.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. I will be happy to discuss this with you; the telephone consultation will be free.
