The act also continues to permit debtors to have their debts discharged, after compliance with the statute, and to possess a not-insignificant amount of assets upon termination of the proceeding.
Not if the debts were actually discharged in the bankruptcy. In regards to the cost of the bankruptcy if the couple were still legally married then that too is not recoverable.
A bankruptcy is not discharged. Debts are discharged. Real estate taxes are a lien on the real estate and would not usually be discharged. Talk to your bankruptcy layer.
If tickets were discharged after filing for bankruptcy then someone would not owe on these debts.
It depends on which debts are discharged in your bankruptcy. There are several types of debts, such as student loans, which consistently persist through bankruptcy. Moreover, you may be liable even for debts that traditionally are discharged, such as credit card debts, where there is even of bad faith and manipulativeness on your part, i.e. you racked up thousands in credit card debt in the days before filing for bankruptcy.
Yes, but child support is not discharged in bankruptcy.
Yes - child support debts are not discharged in bankruptcy.
Yes although that will be a factor for consideration when the court looks at your bankruptcy application.

Only holders of undischarged debt can come after assets or income after a discharged bankruptcy. Some debts may not be dischargeable in a bankruptcy, such as tax debt.

You can always pay discharged debts after bankruptcy. The discharge only prohibits collection of the debt by a creditor. To avoid reinstating the debt(s), it is a good idea not to make regular payments.
Generally, judgements survive bankruptcy.
The debts which were wiped out in bankruptcy still stay on your credit report, but they should be listed as "Discharged in bankruptcy." They will still stay on your credit for 7 years (they don't get extended to 10 years like the Chapter 7 just because they were discharged in bankruptcy).
