Find the best financial services for you at: SMARTFINANCESOLUTIONS.NET - Can my divorce lawyer still sue me even after I have filed chapter 7 bankruptcy? - If your debt to your divorce attorney was discharged in bankruptcy (or if you are still awaiting disposition of your case and the automatic stay is in effect), no. That would be a violation of the discharge order or the automatic stay.

This only applies to services performed BEFORE the bankruptcy filing. The attorney can still bill you for (and sue you in order to collect for) any work performed AFTER the bankruptcy was filed.

Your divorce attorney can also decline to represent you any further after you have discharged debts owed him or her. -
