Could we possibly have this chapter 13 dismissed and file a chapter 7 so we can just simply move on with our lives?

Not sure why you filed a CH13 to begin with you. An option is to convert your case to a CH7. Speak to an experienced lawyer about your options. Most lawyers will charge you for the consultation since you are in a current pending BK.

You may do so so long as your means test does not disqualify you from chapter 7. You might also consider simply converting your chapter 13 to a chapter 7 case. It's always best to consult an experienced bankruptcy lawyer, because any such change could have unanticipated consequences.

You may always dismiss a Chapter 13 case on your own motion. The more important issue is whether you are eligible to file Chapter 7 and receive a discharge at this time. For most people in Chapter 13, a discharge will not happen until you have made payments for 5 years. You need to also understand that some debts can be eliminated only in Chapter 13 and will not be discharged by refilling a Chapter 7 case. You also should understand that another option may be to CONVERT your existing Chapter 13 to a Chapter 7 case. Alas, without a complete analysis of facts that you cannot provide in an online question, no one can say whether this proposal you make is any good.
