Yes, you certainly can.
No, they are exempt from the bankruptcy laws.
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. It is against Federal law to try and collect funds that have been discharged in bankruptcy. 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.
Bankruptcy can discharge certain types of civil lawsuit judgments, such as those related to debt or damages. However, there are exceptions for judgments related to fraud, intentional misconduct, or certain other offenses. It's best to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to determine if your specific judgment can be discharged.
Yes. Not if the judgment was for a case involving fraud. And the state doesn't make any difference, unless there is a state bankruptcy procedure that you are using.
In order to file for bankruptcy a person will need to hire an attorney or lawyer. Bankruptcy has long term financial consequences for the person so a competent attorney should be hired.
In most cases, no. If the debt was discharged in your bankruptcy, the creditor cannot attach a lien on property after your case is file. If the debt is non-dischargeable (i.e. tax debt, fraud, etc.) then the creditor can attach a lien until the judgment amount is satisfied.
Yes. A discharge will depend on whether the claim involved fraud.
