My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: OH
Not sure if this is where to post this, but it involves a bankruptcy and a judgment.
My mother is in the process of filing for bankruptcy. She had received a judgement against her. Since she has no bank accounts and is currently unemployed, the creditor filed for an examination of Defendant's Property. Her lawyer told her that once she filed for bankruptcy, all proceedings would halt against her. She didn't realize that hiring lawyer and getting all of the paper work in does not equal filing, so she skipped the examination thinking she didn't need to go. Now she has been summoned to show cause as to why she should not be held in contempt. Her hearing is next month, and she her bankruptcy is actually being filed tomorrow.
What can she expect at this hearing? Her lawyer said nothing will happen, she just goes in explains her misunderstanding and let them know that she has now in fact filed. Seems to me, that is not really the end of the story, since it's up to a magistrate, and I want to make sure she is doing the right thing now. Anyone with experience with this sort of thing, I would be grateful for some extra insight.
