When a bankruptcy is filed, an automatic stay takes effect, which prohibits any creditor or debt collector from taking any further action to collect any debt owed by the debtor.
Secured creditors who believe the debtor will not be able to continue making payments on their debts (mortgages, car loans, any secured debt) can ask for relief from stay to be allowed to foreclose or repossess, or otherwise claim and sell the security.

How long does a stay in legal terms last?
The length of a stay in legal terms can vary depending on the context. For example, a stay of execution in criminal proceedings temporarily postpones the implementation of a death sentence. In civil cases, a stay may refer to a suspension or temporary halt of legal proceedings. The duration of a stay will depend on the specific circumstances and the court's decision.
Can a relief from stay be contested?
Sure, but with good legal reason which is more compelling than the one presented to obtain the relief originally. And of course, if such reason exists, it really should have been argued when relief requested. Legal reason is not that you don't like it, that it causes you hardship (which is a better argument against you than for you as that is what your BK does to everyone of your creditors), or something like that.

What can you do to prevent the relief of stay?
Not much, it is pursuant to the ruling of the judge if a BK stay is lifted. A relief of stay is generally granted to secured creditors, such as a mortgage holder on real property or lien holder on a vehicle. If it involves a chapter 13, the debtor should be certain all terms agreed upon when loans were reaffirmed are met as specified. Mortgage holders will often file for relief when payments are not kept current. When it concerns vehicles it can be payments or in some cases insurance defaults that cause the lender to file. Of course there is always the debtor's right to appeal any ruling/actions.
