Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Texas

Re: Can judgement be filed with chapter 7

Generally, yes, but it depends on what kind of judgment it is because there are exceptions. For example, a judgment for child support cannot be eliminated through a bankruptcy. You really need to consult a bankruptcy attorney so they can advise you regarding each specific judgment.

Re: Can judgement be filed with chapter 7

First, you must list any and all debts in your bankruptcy schedules. This includes judgments. Most judgments are dischargeable. If there is a lien associated with the judgment you should try to avoid the lien. Also note that the terms of the judgment might affect its dischargeability. I suggest you contact a lawyer in your area for additional information. Most will offer you a free initial consultation.
