To get technical, a bankruptcy does not "dismiss" a judgment. However, the end result is the same- a bankruptcy will "discharge" the debtors responsibility to pay the judgment which makes unenforceable - uncollectible.

Prior to the discharge in a bankruptcy, and IMMEDIATELY after the filing of your bankruptcy petition, an "automatic stay" by the court is put in place to freeze all collections actions against you. There are several exceptions which include certain taxes, student loans and fraud.
Yes, as long as the claim did not involve fraud.
If you have pleaded no content to a negligent homicide and have been convicted and the family of the deceased files a civil lawsuit against you in Montana where the accident took place, can you file bankruptcy?
