    What Happens at a Confirmation Hearing?

    As a Pro Se filer, what can I expect at a Confirmation Hearing?
    Is the Trustee present and what is his/her role during the Hearing?
    Let's say your Trustee has sent you a letter of recommendation of your plan to you in advance. So, what type of questions will the judge ask at this point about the plan to make his/her decision? How nerve racking is the process? Please someone describe the scene in detail of a confirmation hearing.

    Actually, nothing really.

    Yes, their role is to "recommend" confirmation . Generally, they inform the Judge of any open issues with your plan and/or if you are actually "current" on your Plan payments.

    No questions really. Again, it's just procedurally formal as they must hold a hearing. If it's anything like mine, it really went without many words (although I had a Request for Automatic Stay pending, which the Judge denied). The Confirmation is really the Trustee's show.

      In my district, the hearing is ex parte -- nobody even shows up unless there is an objection to confirmation. The judge just enters the confirmation order.
      Pay no attention to anything I post. I graduated last in my class from a fly-by-night law school that no longer exists; I never studied or went to class; and I only post on internet forums when I'm too drunk to crawl away from the computer.

        Same here... unless there is a trustee or creditor objection that you couldn't work out and need the judge to decide on no one has to show up.
