Yes.
The answer depends upon what you are seeking. The term "relief" could refer to alimony, child support the payment of bills by your spouse--just about anything. A motion is a request to the court to take some type of action.
It is filed because a secured creditor (who has stopped receiving payments) wants to foreclose on the collateral of the loan/promissory note. It is filed because a BK filing prevents a creditor from trying any collection activity (the "stay"). So a creditor that wants to continue to collect/foreclose must seek court permission to do so- hence "relief" from "stay"
Automatic Stay is the thing that is automatically done when you file bankruptcy. It protects the assets of the bankruptcy estate. It prevents collection attempts. It stops foreclosure / evictions. A motion for relief from automatic stay is filed by a creditor when they want to foreclose, continue foreclosure, eviction, reposession, etc. Speak with an attorney about your specific situation. If you can not find an attorney, contact your local Bar association and they will refer you to one.
In 37 years of bankruptcy practice, i have never seen a "No Opposition Order." If no opposition to any motion is filed, after the time allowed for such oppositions, the court issues an order allowing the motion, stating that no opposition was filed.
To file a Motion, you should take the original and a few copies to the clerk of the court in which it should be filed. The clerk takes the original for the file, and will stamp your copies. You then serve a copy on the opposing party.
When you filed your bankruptcy, the court issued an automatic stay which prevents any creditor from moving forward with collection efforts. For whatever reason, this particular creditor wants to proceed with collection and it must request the permission of the bankruptcy court by filing the motion for relief from automatic stay.
If a creditor files a motion for relief from stay in any bankruptcy proceeding, the papers should be served on the debtor's attorney of record.
Yes, the debts protected under a bankruptcy proceeding are enumerated when bankruptcy is filed. Any debts accrued by the bankrupt party in the future are not protected by a previously filed bankruptcy.
You can't file any legal action against the non-paying tenant until the chapter 13 has been dismissed or the court grants your relief from stay motion. You can also file a motion to have the entire case dismissed if the failure to pay rent is a breach of the chapter 13 plan. If the tenant is still in the property, you will want to file an eviction lawsuit and not a small claims lawsuit.
When one party to a court action files a motion, the judge holds a hearing on the contents of the motion at which time the opposition will be given a chance to be heard.
You can't, unless the liability is for fraud. You can file a motion for relief from stay, but it will not likely be granted. Unless the court grants you relief from the automatic stay, you cannot proceed. The liability will be discharged.
