My ex just wanted me to get into trouble so ex accused me of hiding assets from ch.7 bankruptcy trustee by providing information ex gained in separate family case hearing from me. Even though ex knew the money I received after bankruptcy case was legitimate gain after ch 7 filing therefore mine, ex lied to trustee it was from litigation settlement so trustee will come after me. They were facing deadline and had to file file adversary action against me without time to investigate because my ex made claim so close to deadline. Long story short, trustee does not think they have claim and case is going to close. In the reporting website DOJ even has the warning to deter some one like my ex. โNo, you cannot be assured that your identity will be protected, but you can report fraud anonymously. Furthermore, you are not immune from suit either. If the debtor or the accused person is later acquitted in a criminal proceeding, you may be sued for malicious prosecutionโ
Congratulations on overcoming this hurdle. I am not sure what your question is but I am a bankruptcy attorney and I handle matters like this frequently. If you do wish to sue your ex, that is definitely something we can entertain. However, just coming out of a bankruptcy, you should be aware that this file would be billed hourly and could not be a flat fee or contingency. Please feel free to contact my firm and I if we can be of assistance.
