Our last day for objections was 08/11, but we have not yet been discharged. Who actually does the discharge, the trustee or the court? Should I contact someone? Thanks.

The federal judge is the one who actually has the power to do the discharge. -
Since it's been almost 20 days, you can call the clerk's office and ask about your case. Just remember to be very polite.
alh is right, the judge orders the discharge.Bankruptcy History:

yeah to close/dishcarge it - call the clerk.
i think the hierarchy is:
trustee
us trustee (and his office staff)
judge
All have to sign off on it I believe.

According to the North Dakota Bk Court webpage at http://www.ndb.uscourts.gov/forms/DischargeInfo.htm#3 , here's how a debtor gets a bk discharge:
"Unless there is litigation involving objections to the discharge, the debtor will automatically receive a discharge. The Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure provide for the clerk of the bankruptcy court to mail a copy of the order of discharge to all creditors, the United States trustee, the trustee in the case, and the trustee's attorney, if any. The debtor and the debtor's attorney also receive copies of the order of discharge. The order of discharge is not specific as to those debts determined by the court to be non dischargeable, i.e., not covered by the discharge. The order of discharge informs creditors generally that the debts owed to them have been discharged and that they should not attempt any further collection. They are cautioned in the order that continuing collection efforts could subject them to punishment for contempt. Any inadvertent failure on the part of the clerk to send the debtor or any creditor a copy of the discharge order promptly within the time required by the rules does not affect the validity of the order granting the discharge."I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice nor a statement of the law - only a lawyer can provide those.
