I am filing Chapter 7 and I own a house. I heard that when they sell my house I should get back some money from it. Is this true?

There are too many different variables to answer that question as it currently is asked.  It depends on numerous factual issues.  Issues such as: the amount of equity in the home, if the bankruptcy is a joint filing, and the amount owed on the home are all factors to be considered.   You should consult a local bankruptcy attorney.  Most bankruptcy attorneys offer a free initial consultations to determine if bankruptcy is appropriate for each client.
