The conversion fee the court charges to convert Chapter 13 to Chapter 7 is $25. Your attorney may charge you additional attorneys fees as well.

You can file a chapter 13 bk, but NOT another chapter 7.
You can file bankruptcy again 7 years after the last time you filed.
If I file chapter 7 or 13 how long can I stay in my house?
if you filed chapter 13 and it was discharged in 2005 can you file chapter 7 in 2009
You can file Chapter 13, but you would need to pay all creditors in full because you are not eligible to receive a discharge. If you want file Chapter 13 and receive a discharge, you must wait to file until 6 years have passed since your Chapter 7 case. You would to wait 7 years if you want to file another Chapter 7 case.
How soon after filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, can you file either Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 Banruptcy again?
Since its dismissed w/ prejudice - Wait 180 days and file an individual chapter 7. Your spouse does not have to file.
No, you don't need assets to file for bankruptcy, except for money for the attorney's fees. For a chapter 7 case, the average fee will be $1,500.00. For a chapter 13 case, the average fee is usually about $3,000.00, but it's paid out in monthly installments over a 3-5 year period.
Divorce will not affect filing chapter 7. If the divorce is final, you will have to file separate chapter 7s. If the divorce is not final, or has not happened, you can file a joint chapter 7.
chapter 7 filings 8 years from the time of discharge and the time for filing a chapter 13 after a chapter 7 discharge 4 years.
You would be able to file for chapter 7 but not your husband.
A chapter 13 bankruptcy can be filed if it has been at least 4 years from the date of the discharge of a chapter 7. Nonsense. You can file a chapter 13 the day after the 7 is closed. You may not be eligible for a discharge, but the point of doing a "chapter 20" is usually to dump the unsecured debt in the 7 and use the 13 to get caught up on the mortgage, for which no discharge is necessary.
