My clients have filed BK so they could keep the house not give it up and move out. That is the point in many cases, Not all so consult your attorney, Once you are in BK you might be able to refi yourself out of the whole mess with a new loan. That is my speciality.

That is up to the person filing the bankruptcy. You can include or omit any debt that you choose.
When you file bankruptcy, you must include ALL assets that you own. You can't pick and choose. This is considered fraud upon the court. So, absolutely not.
What has MY bankruptcy got to do with you moving out of your house? Obviously, if the mortgagee is not telling you to leave, and you get to stay rent-free, stay as long as you can, but get as much moved or ready to move as you can. You may not be given much time.
No.
You are normally allowed to keep the house you are living in and one car in a bankruptcy.
Filing for bankruptcy may enable you to recover your house from foreclosure. However the bankruptcy would entail dealing with your entire debt situation, not just the house.
I f that was the main reason for filing the c. 13, you can. Make sure the lender knows about the bankruptcy and you have a refi commitment before you move to dismiss.
Yes, 3 years after discharge of the Bankruptcy.
If you are surrendering your house anyways, it is usually better for your credit score if you do it through bankruptcy. If your house is foreclosed on before you file bankruptcy, then your credit score is hit by both the foreclosure and the bankruptcy. If you let your house go back through bankruptcy, instead, then your credit score is only hit by a bankruptcy.
No.
You have deliberately perpetrated a fraud on the court and creditors and may face federal prison time if convicted.
Of course, it is immensely important to include IRS in a bankruptcy. If you don't some bad naughty things could happen.
