Can a civil judgment be eliminated by a bankruptcy?
I am in the process of trying to get s default judgment against me vacated/set aside. It was a rental property issue, not an auto accident or credit card debt. I am a single parent, currently unemployed and have no assets, not even a car at this point in time. Obviously, no money for a lawyer. I go to court in a few days for the discovery of assets hearing.
If I end up filing bankruptcy, will this judgment be part of the relief? I read somewhere on this forum that bankruptcy will not discharge civil judgments.
Also – I will not get put in jail when I got to court and cannot pay this judgment, will I? Thank you for your time and advice!
