If I file bankruptcy can I add my mother's creditor with my bankruptcy?

Just because she is your mother, it does not mean that you are automatically liable for her debts. When you file for bankruptcy, you can include only those debts which you are liable either personally or as a co-signor or joint debts. If you are not a co-signor and you include your mother debt in your bankruptcy, you will be committing fraud and your petition will be dismissed. Once a bankruptcy petition is dismissed for fraud, there may be restrictions on future filings. Your mother will continue to be liable for the debt. If she is unable to pay the debt, she can file for bankruptcy to discharge the debt. For an official opinion, it is advised you seek legal counsel.

The additional fee ($30) is for any amendment to Schedules D, E and F. There is a $260 fee to reopen the chapter 7 if needed to file the amendment. Make sure you add all the omitted creditors, so you don't have to file more than one motion to amend.
Can someone file judgment on someone who filed bankruptcy and had it discharged 1 year ago?
It depends on whether that creditor was listed on Schedule F at the time of the filing. The filing of Bankruptcy (BK) doesn't in itself wipe out the debt: that debt must be listed on the list of creditors. If a debt was discharged under BK then the creditor(s) on the list of discharged debts cannot take any action against the Debtor: IT'S GONE FOR GOOD! That's what BK is for-- to give a fresh start. If the creditor was such at the time of filing and the debtor forgot to include that creditor on the list, he may be able to later add it on and have that debt also discharged. Now, if the debtor has since incurred a debt after the BK was discharged then that creditor can take action against the debtor.

What do you do when you forgot to list a creditor on your bankruptcy and it has already been discharged?
The normal procedure is to file a motion to reopen the case so you can add the crediotr that you forgot to list. A great deal depends on whether or not you had assets available to pay creditors. In some areas of the country, unlisted debts are still discharged if you have a "no asset 7" when no money was available to the creditors. You should consult a bankruptcy attorney to determine if further action is warranted.

Contact your attorney. Depending on the situation, he/she may add it to the bankruptcy (it may be easier to discharge it than fight it), object to the claim, or file an "adversary proceeding" (a lawsuit within the bankruptcy case) to bring it before a judge.
