You have an absolute right to dismiss a Chapter 13 (unless it was converted from the 7). A Chapter 7 needs court approval to be dismissed, if you have assets that can be liquidated the court very well may deny you.

Do you mean "discharged", rather than dismissed??

First let's make sure that you really mean dismissed. Dismissed means that your bankruptcy is stopped before its successful finish. Your debts all return - nothing is changed from before you filed except now the creditors can stack on late fees and penalties for all the payments you missed during the filing.

Discharged means that you successfully completed your bankruptcy with all unsecured debts gone.

If you did mean dismissed and want to know if you yourself can ask for the bankruptcy to be voluntarily dismissed, this is only possible in Ch 13.

If you want to dismiss a filed Ch 7, you must ask the court for permission. As Forgotten already said, the court may say yes or may say no.

What about the lawsuits I am having, do the court take it over, or unless there is a trustee.

Do your lawsuits already have court judgments or are the lawsuits just filed with no decision yet?

Chapter 13 questions on lawsuits & eviction

I have ongoing lawsuits, I can continue the lawsuits unless the court appointed me a trustee?

Also, I was told it is better to file bankruptcy after I lost my court trial on unlawful detainer, filed BK when the sheriff posted the eviction notice, I have 5 days to file. Please answer is it better to postpone the trial or file later.

I preferred dismissal, all debts are not discharged. Because all my debts and judgments will become more later.

I want dismissed, so I can file again later when I have more judgments and debts.

I have 4 judgments and about 5 more lawsuits. So it is good to have all lawsuits finished trials.

Sounds like you need to open the phone book and talk to a BK attorney for your area. Many will do a consultation at no cost (mine did it on the phone)and you would get a better idea of what challenges your situation faces.

Especially because you mentioned needing to file right away.

Yes, your questions would be better answered by an attorney in your area that you can meet with and discuss your options.

Bankruptcy will stop most lawsuits I believe - you should not have to wait for trials to be completed - but I am not a lawyer. You should see one - usually the first consult is free.
