No, the new BK law now requires a one year waiting period as opposed to the former 180 days.
Since its dismissed w/ prejudice - Wait 180 days and file an individual chapter 7. Your spouse does not have to file.
No. Dismissed is essentially incomplete - no resolution...discharged is completed and closed.
No, not without refiling another "13".
If your Chapter 13 was dismissed, meaning you did not complete your Plan, then you are essentially right back where you started before you filed for bankruptcy. The creditors can pursue you for the debts without any legal ramifications.
No. If a Chapter 7 is not properly discharged and closed it is not valid. If a Chapter 13 is not adhered to according to the repayment plan agreed on it will be dismissed by the BK trustee with or without prejudice.
Dismissed without prejudice means the creditor cannot further pursue the debt.
Dismissed WITH or WITHOUT prejudice? On a misdemeanor - IF it was dismissed WITH prejudice - you probably can.
Being dismissed without prejudice means that the case can be refiled at a later date. It gives the option to pursue the case again if needed, which can be advantageous in certain situations. However, it also means that the issue remains unresolved and may need to be addressed in the future.
It means that for some legal reason the court has dismissed the charges against the individual. A case may be dismissed "with prejudice" or "without prejudice."
Not enough information. Was it dismissed WITH prejudice, or WITHOUT prejudice?
A debtor can dismiss a Chapter 13 bankruptcy at any time without a fee, except perhaps for any remaining attorney's fees that have not been paid under the Chapter 13 plan. A debtor cannot voluntarily dismiss a Chapter 7 without filing a motion wiht the court. Even then, the debtor must be able to demonstrate that no prejudice to creditor if the Chapter 7 is dismissed. The debtor can convert the 7 to 13 (which does involve a fee) and then dismiss the Chapter 13.
noAnother View: Yes, it could be, depending on HOW the case was dismissed. If the judge dismissed the case WITH prejudice it cannot be re-opened. If it was dismissed WITHOUT prejudice it can be.However, if a criminal case is dismissed without prejudice it may not be re-opened IF the applicable statute of limitations for that crime in that situation has lapsed.
