Can I amend my Chapter 13 bankruptcy from 2 years ago to give up my house?
Question Details:
I am divorced and was not awarded the house. My ex has vacated and is not making payments. The bank will not take my name off of the loan.
Yes, you can surrender your house, but if the payments being made on the house were part of your income/expense budget in determining your plan payment, you will need to modify your plan to most likely increase your monthly payment. You need to consult with your attorney on this.
