As you are represented by an attorney already, you need to seek advice from him/her.

He decided the motorcycle was sold for less than its worth (sold for $6000 to my relative, worth 10,000 at that time) its seems his intentions are to get the motorcycle back from my relative not pay him a penny and put him in the creditors list. Is this even legal?? We made a legit sale and nobody was buying anything at that time, that's the reason we had to sell it for less. Nobody outside my husband and myself know we are filing a BK , this will be extemely embarrasing to drag a relative into it, and get the property he paid fro taken away from him. My attorneys and paralegals have made a few mistakes costing us an extra $9,000 since they didn't protect our Tax refund, it dont even trust they are doing a good work that's why im desperate and asking for advice. Please Help! Thanks Hi,

And it seems that you already have an attorney of your own anyway. If that is the case, you should seek his/her advice. If you are dissatisfied with you attorney for some reason, then you may want to look for another attorney near you. If so, I would suggest using the <a href="http://www.nacba.com/" rel="nofollow">Attorney Finder</a> provided by the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys. I wish you well. Dan Nunley Lisa,

I have a house in another town that was purchased with my ex-husband after we got divorced. The children were very small and he is a diabetic, so we put my name on the house. He paid for everything, tax, mortgage sewer, etc. I did not pay anything on the house. Since that time, I had bought 2 other properties, showed proof to the banks that I never paid on the house. I produced actual canceled checks furnished by my ex-husband. My ex-boyfriend gave me a gift letter on a home, then during an extension I had to go to see his atty and sign a promissory note to repay the gift amount back. His attorney didn't want to see the gift letter and told me I had to sign it. That was in 2005. Now my ex-boyfriend is trying to get money out of the home I had my name on with my ex husband. There are more details to this, but this is the short version. Is my ex-boyfriend entitled to it? I had proven that I never paid on the house and it belongs to my ex-husband and my now grown children. I did sign the house over to my ex-husband before I ever filed for bankruptcy. The house I bought with the gift money from my ex boyfriend, he filed it as a 2nd mortgage at the registry of deeds. I had a buyer for the home but had to take it off the market because of the lien he placed on it. My lawyer told me I had to file for bankruptvy in count of him not removing the lien. His lawyer told my lawyer that he has money and wants to drag it out and make my life a living hell. This is really a mess. I have to produce W2's (I haven't worked in over 3 years), bank statements and I was asked all about my husband's personal property, income and I feel that is not relevant to my case. This was all done before I married my husband less than 2 years ago. Can you give me advice? I am going through a bankruptcy here in Massachusetss.
