Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Pennsylvania
Wife pulled out of joint-7 complaint to determine dischargeability
After her third affair, she left with the kids, forcing bankruptcy. We filed jointly, and she also signed all papers leading up to the hearing on dischargeability of education loans (pro se). The divorce/custody situation has become more adversarial, however, and now (just a few weeks before the hearing) her divorce lawyer told my divorce lawyer she will no longer participate nor accomodate.
Do I need to tell the court prior to the hearing, file a form or something, or is a brief statement during my argument adequate? I don't want to prejudice the Court against her OR me

Pro Se Dischargeability Complaint
Get a lawyer. Don't waste your time tryingto do dischargeability litigation yourself.You have a divorce lawyer. I can't understandwhy anyone would have a lawyer do a divorcebut try to do a bankruptcy pro se - the divorce is probably easier and less risky.
That said, whose loan is it? If it is yours, you don't need her participation in thedischargeability litigation. If it is hers, why do you care? If you each have one, justdeal with yours.
