Re: objection to discharge

You can only file an objection to discharge based on fraud or concealment by the debtor in the petition itself, or otherwise in the bankruptcy proceeding. You can contest the trustee's determination of your claim, but you better have legal authority to back up your claim. The fact that a debt is discharged does not affect the trustees right to liquidate assets to pay you for it.
