Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

I live in southern California, I will be filling BK-7 in the next couple of weeks, I have a builder who did some work on my house and we have a disagreement about the final cost. He has placed a lien on our home and filled in small claims court for $5,000.00.

Would the BK make this all go away or is it handled separately?

Correct, it is advisable to call the attorney in your area as there's more information to consider. Liens must be avoided: they are not automatically canceled through filing of the petition.
