Will I have to go to court?

Debtors in bankruptcy aren’t usually required to appear in court. Debtors are only required to attend a “meeting of creditors,” where the trustee asks questions related to your case, especially about any property owned. It’s very rare for creditors to even show up for this meeting. Hearings before a judge generally only occur when there are disputes with creditors or the trustee and even then debtors are rarely required to attend. Only the debtor’s attorney needs to attend. If you’re required to be at a hearing we’ll be sure to let you know in advance.
