You can dismiss a chapter 13 at anytime for any reason under the bankruptcy rules. Bear in mind that there may be reasons why you filed the chapter 13 in the first place. For example to save a house that was in foreclosure or because you filed a chaptert 7 previously and were not eligible to file another one. So if you need to stay in the chapter 13 amd your wage situation is just temporary, you might be able to suspend or halt the trustee payments for anywhere from one to four months. Check with your attorney or trustee on how to do this. Additionally, if you are otherwise eligible, you may just want to convert your chapter 13 to a chapter 7 bankruptcy and receive your discharge now. So, depending on your needs and circumstances, you can dismiss your case, suspend the payment or convert it.

Are there fees involved when you dismiss your bankruptcy?

A debtor can dismiss a Chapter 13 bankruptcy at any time without a fee, except perhaps for any remaining attorney's fees that have not been paid under the Chapter 13 plan. A debtor cannot voluntarily dismiss a Chapter 7 without filing a motion wiht the court. Even then, the debtor must be able to demonstrate that no prejudice to creditor if the Chapter 7 is dismissed. The debtor can convert the 7 to 13 (which does involve a fee) and then dismiss the Chapter 13.

Are recent debts accrued after filing a no asset bankruptcy case discharged along with listed debts?

If you are referring to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you are stuck with debts incurred after filing the bankruptcy unless your case is dismissed without a discharge and later refiled. In a Chapter 13 case, sometimes post petition debts can be paid through plan or the debts can be covered if you voluntarily dismiss the case and refile or convert it to a Chapter 7. In the case of a conversion to a Chapter 7, it would cover all debts up to the date of the conversion. The reform laws that went into effect in October 2005 contain much stricter rules on cases where a bankruptcy has been dismissed and refiled to prevent "serial" filers. Before making a decison, you must consult a local bankruptcy attorney to decide if dismiss your case and refiling is a valid option for your circumstance. Finally, Chapter 7 cases are very difficult to dismiss voluntarily.

Unfortunately, you can be sued by any one for any cause. However, judges tend to make rulings based on merit, so if you can show that the individual was paid what he was owed by you, they will dismiss the case. Bear in mind you can countersue (for lost time, wages, expenses, etc.)
