What does it mean for a bankruptcy to be discharged?

You may be referring to the discharge of debts in bankruptcy. Not all debts can be discharged. Most discharged debts are partially discharged in Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 actions. Debts or the portions thereof that are discharged no longer exist at law and creditors no longer can attempt collection. It is a "fresh start". You attorney can advise you as to which debts are likely to be discharged, which ones reorganized, and which debts will likely not be discharged.
