Under the changes to the bankruptcy law, a debtor can refile his Chapter 13 case. You will have to provide the judge a good reason to allow it, (which really means something like a change in your financial situation so you can now do what you didn't)...not that you now understand want it more than before. Some judges flex a bit on this, but it is very situational.

If case #2 is filed within 12 months that case #1 was pending, then the automatic stay is not absolute. Instead, the automatic stay does go into effect, but it terminates in 30 days unless the debtor files a motion with the court and convinces the judge to extend the stay. If the judge does not extend the stay, then it would come to an end in 30 days and the creditors/mortgage company would be free to re-start foreclosure/collection proceedings.

How many payments missed from debtor to trustee before chapter13 is dismissed?

In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, if a debtor misses one or more payments to the trustee as outlined in their repayment plan, the case may be dismissed. Typically, the court may allow a grace period for missed payments, but consistently missing payments can lead to dismissal. The specific number of payments missed before dismissal can vary by jurisdiction and the discretion of the bankruptcy judge, but generally, two or more missed payments can trigger a dismissal. It is essential for debtors to communicate with their trustee if they anticipate payment issues.
