What an emotional summer this has been.

Congrats on the new baby and filing your petition!! We waited nearly two months after filing before our 341. It was smooth sailing though and we should be discharged within the next couple of weeks. Life is so much easier now! Less stress and we are able to focus on what's truly important in our lives!!

Finally was filed and my 341 is 10/16! Can't come soon enough.

Great! It will be here before you know it!

My attorney e filed and asked that I be informed by email of the 341. I received and email from the bk court that afternoon with the date and time of the 341. My lawyer send me a confirmation letter a few days later with the same info.

Wow, that's quick! I believe mine will be e-filed as well. Yay!

Congratulations on your marriage and the baby to come.

I know you are anxious and want to get the petition filed, so you can get this behind you, but I do want to caution you to just be patient. We hired our attorney in August 2006, but due to a yearly stipend that we receive from a retirement instrument each January, we had to wait until that amount dropped off the radar. Then I lost my FT job, and 'Hub lost his PT computer consulting job. At each change of our financial lives, we had to submit a new set of pay stubs and bank statements to the attorney. I think we submitted at least four sets to her, before we finally filed on December 28, 2007--more than a year after we first hired her.

There was a rush to do that, as Dec. 28, as the last business day of the year, and we were facing a couple of creditor lawsuits. We were afraid that if we waited until January, we would have to wait out that yearly stipend again. What we didn't know then, was that we could have filed in January BEFORE the payout, and would have been okay. But because we 'rushed', many costly mistakes were made that could have been avoided.

We had not yet found this forum, with all of its wonderful posters and information.

Hi, congrats on baby #1...what a blessing in the middle of chaos. That baby will put things in order for you like nothing else has and show you how wonderful life can be even when you think you are at the bottom. The bky will be over and done with shortly and life will go on, you do what you have to do in the best interest of your family. The best of luck to you and your wife and new little one ...

I don't have any advice either. But, we originally met with attorney last November and were not able to file until end of June. Had our 341 8/14 - so waiting.

We are in Indiana too - so just wanted to say "HI", and it will all be OK.

Oh my goodness your summer sounds a lot like ours. Minus having another baby! I feel your pain and frustration as its been a long summer for a lot of people!!! I know you can get through this! Just think of that precious baby that you will soon see instead of focusing on this lovely aspect of life.

Thank-you friends.

I forgot, to add into all of this, my wife and I are expecting our first child on 10/1. It has been a crazy emotional year for sure.
