If your wife is in a Chapter 13 plan and is the borrower on the mortgage can the husband apply for a refinance loan to pay off the first mortgage?

Yes! The only thing is the chapter 13 will have to be discharged at closing. Depending on how long she has been in the bankruptcy, this may not be a big hassle. It is impossible to refinance a home in a chapter 13 without the BK being discharged. For more information, please feel free to email me at Travis.Fleury@gmail.com. I work for one of the largest direct private mortgage lenders in the country, i'd be glad to help answer any other questions.

My husband filed chapter 13 bankruptcy in November.His court date is January 25th. Will we get a tax return?

Sorry, but this makes no sense. A chapter 13 filed in November 2011 should have had a plan confirmed by now. If there is a court date of some kind for January, the case may be about to be dismissed. In any event, if the chapter 13 is still pending when you get your tax refund, it will have to be given to the chapter 13 trustee.
