QUESTION
Is there a timeline or deadline for the trustee to have objections about anything? Can the trustee still go after assesses after my trial date?

Your questions are confusing. Talk to your bankruptcy attorney to determine the deadlines, if any.

Yes there are various deadlines for trustees in bankruptcy cases. It depends on the circumstances and what type of case you filed whether the trustee has the right to go after assets.

A bankrutpcy trustee has 30 days after your 341 meeting to object to your exemptions. I am not sure what you mean when you refer to your "trial date." The meeting with your trustee would not be a trial.

A Trustee, like any other creditor, must take actions within the times set out by the Bankruptcy Code. The hearing notice for the first hearing, commonly called the meeting of creditors or 341 notice, sets forth the initial time limits for a Trustee to act. There are, however, ways to extend that time when a Trustee has a valid reason to do so. You need to talk with your attorney about this. If you do not have an attorney, you should contact an attorney at once to advise you on this and many other issues that come up in a bankruptcy case.

As to your trial date...I think you mean the 341 meeting that you attended. Actually, creditors have 60 days after that date in which to object to your discharge. The trustee has a few deadlines. First, they can go after any asset that is not exempt at any time until they abandon it. They also have 30 days after this meeting to object to any exemptions to used to protect property if he/she feels you used them incorrectly.

Your question is confusing. You ask if there are timelines, but then you ask about a trial date. If there is a trial, then it means that an adversary proceeding was filed against you. That stops other deadlines, so need that information before advising on anything else.
