This new fifth edition of Bankruptcy Deadline Checklist is a quick reference guide for anyone who deals with a bankruptcy case including judges, lawyers, paralegals, credit managers, collection agents, professors, law students, and others participating in bankruptcy cases or study. It has been updated to incorporate the latest and most relevant Code and Rule changes. The Checklist is organized by chapter of the Bankruptcy Code (i.e., 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, and 15), and, within each chapter, by Code section, with additional sections covering those items typically needed upon the filing of a case, rules on adversary proceedings, appeals, and notices. Due to the minimal number of Chapter 9 and 12 cases filed, deadlines under those Chapters are not included. The Checklist is meant to be a list of all of the potential deadlines in a case; it certainly is not necessary (and indeed would be unlikely) to use each deadline in a particular case. To use the Checklist, simply look up the relevant Cod…

Now revised and expanded, The Family Lawyer's Guide to Bankruptcy is a valuable and concise resource for understanding the sweeping changes to the Bankruptcy Code as it affects divorce and divorcing parties. The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA) made a bankruptcy filing substantially more difficult and eliminated some of the benefits that were available. However, the root causes for the filing of bankruptcy remain: about a quarter of all bankruptcy cases are caused by divorce, often due to the costs of maintaining two households on a single salary, uncovered medical expenses, failing businesses, and job loss. Therefore, there are still situations in a divorce case where a bankruptcy case may be beneficial to both spouses. The Family Lawyer's Guide to Bankruptcy offers practical and current guidance on how bankruptcy law affects divorcing spouses, updating the developing case law in the wake of BAPCPA legislation. It begins with an overview of …
