If the party involved is participating in a Chapt. 13 filing; no major financial transactions can be made without the approval of the bankruptcy trustee. If the Chapt.7 has been discharged in most cases there will be no restrictions to refinancing, except it is doubtful a lender would be found.

How can you refinance your home for a lower interest rate while in a chapter 13 bankruptcy if you do not want to pay off the bankruptcy and do not want to 'cash out'?
While participating in a chapter 13 the petitioner cannot refinance, sell, transfer or otherwise real property without receiving permission from the bankruptcy court/trustee to take the action. Therefore the issues cited are not relevant until/unless permission is granted.

Can a husband refinance a house in California without his wife being involved in the payment of the loan but still stay on the title?
She will have to "quit-claim", come off the title of the home. An attorney will do this for you. But as soon as you refinance, she can be placed back on the title.
Can you refinance during Chapter 13 without creditors taking your money if their debt has been satisfied?
Yes. It certainly depends on how long you've been in the chapter 13. Most states say if you have been in the chapter 13 for more than 3 years, you will only have to pay back a percentage of the original balance of the bankruptcy. If you have been in the bankruptcy for less than 3 years, most states make you pay back the bankruptcy in full (100% of the original claims). If a creditor was included in your bankruptcy and they have been paid, you may refinance out of the bankruptcy without the creditors taking your money. Some things to keep in mind: in order to refinance, you have to be granted a "motion for post-petition financing" from the courts. This can take up to 2 months. Once that is granted, your refinance can be completed. Most people have an approval on their loan with a new mortgage company with the only stipulation being that the motion is granted by the court so that there is essentially no lag-time.
