anyone can SEEK to have a bankruptcy case reopened pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 350 "to administer assets, to accord relief to the debtor, or for other cause." As you can see, this is fairly broad language. Without more facts I can't really guess as to what basis she would have to seek to reopen your case.
