How common are objections?

[HollyM]

My lawyer didn't talk to me about objections and implief that my BK is pretty much and open and closed thing (I have no assets, $16 in credit card and medical bill debt, unemployed).

I keep reading here about objections...what does that mean? Are they common? Thanks! I'm learning a lot here and VERY thankful!

Don't worry about objections in your case, Holly - it sounds very straightforward.

Objections don't happen often. Typically they show up when your bankruptcy case is complicated. Mixing business debt with personal debt, shifting assets to insiders, trying to conceal assets - that kind of stuff.

Also after the new bk law went into effect in Oct 2005, some cases that fall into the gray zones of the new law now also get objections (for example, when the Means Test first part and Schedules I&J in the second part don't match when showing the amount of disposable income). '

Hope this helps!

Case Objection is step 1 ==> amendment to fix possible.
Rejection is step 2 ==> Fraud/dismissal reasons, no fix possible.
