All hearings will be conducted telephonically.  There will also be announcements and updates on the Court website.  You need to make a habit of checking the web site every day or so to keep up with any changes.

For Chapter 13 clients who have been unable to work or are with out pay to fund your Chapter 13 Plan. We are working through a volume of phone calls. There are limited options of suspending payments in to the plan or attempting to lower the payments. Or simply missing payments until the government allows full time employment and trying to catch up later (this may be a last chance option). We expect the Chapter 13 Trustee to file Motions to Dismiss cases with missed payments but will be prepared to argue these with the judge on a case by case basis.
