What happens to the person who needs to file bankruptcy before discharged from previous bankruptcy?
The short answer is to get the case dismissed so it can be refiled.

They can include it, but the creditor/landholder can file a relief of stay to have the debt excluded from being discharged in the bankruptcy. The decision of what debts are to be discharged are determined by state and/or federal law and the bankruptcy judge.
Can you file for bankruptcy after divorce and include the joing mortgage?
Filing for bankruptcy after a divorce when there are a lot of joint obligations can complicate things but it is not uncommon. When a person files for bankruptcy they can only file for their debt obligations and so the court may not allow you to do it for a joint mortgage if that would be unfair to your exspouse or they cannot separate the debts. This is something to think about and I would recommend you contact an attorney to determine what debts can be discharged and what debts cannot.

Once the debt is discharged, a creditor cannot reinstate it, even if you win the lottery.

You will receive a letter that your bankruptcy is discharged. You can also call the bankruptcy court or the trustee and find out if it is final.
