Consumer Bankruptcy

What is a DSO, and what does that bankruptcy provision in every Property Settlement Agreement mean, anyway? What debts are dischargeable, and if it is called “support,” is it truly support? Does the stay need to be modified post-petition in a chapter 13, and what do you do when a current chapter 13 client ends up in divorce court? This panel will address these questions and more, including the differences between chapters 7 and 13, and what actions are stayed.
