"Colorado Bankruptcy Dismissal"
In practice, most dismissal are without prejudice to future relief, restructure, reorganization or discharge.
Nevertheless, once dismissed, debtors may not refile for a period of 180 days.
| 11 U.S.C. §349(a): "Unless the court, for cause, orders otherwise,
the dismissal of a case under this title does not bar the discharge, in a later case under this title, of
debts that were dischargeable in the case dismissed; nor does the dismissal of a case under this title
prejudice the debtor with regard to the filing of a subsequent petition under this title, except as provided
in section 109(g) of this title." |
NOTE: Spanish language forms and information may be obtained from a various websites, including the United
State Department of Justice, Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, and other US Court sites. Regarding these
forms, the Colorado Bankruptcy Court advises "While we have no reason to believe that these Spanish language
forms or information have been translated inaccurately, only the English language forms are officially
prescribed by the Judicial Conference of the United States Courts. Accordingly, the Court for the District of
Colorado can not guarantee the accuracy or sufficiency of information contained in Spanish language forms or
informational documents." The Colorado Bankruptcy Court also maintains a pro bono program to assist qualified
debtors with adversary proceedings (not available to file petitions to initiate Ch. 7 or 13 cases).
