Bankruptcy

What is the 'lookback' period for Chapter 7 in terms of filing bankruptcy?

I was divorced in 2002 and my ex-husband and I have property settlement that he needs to pay off the credit under my name, to clear my credit but he filed for bankruptcy in 2004 and I just found out. He has never payed off the credit, I want to know what I can do to clear my credit. Could I take him to court? What kind of lawyer do I need?

How long before a bankruptcy can be removed from your credit report, and how is it done? Do I do it or does someone else takes care of it?

My husband and I are thinking of signing a separation agreement. We do not understand the part of the agreement on bankruptcy (see below). Our question actually is as follows: if after signing the separation agreement one of the parties files for bankruptcy, is the other party still held liable by the court for the debts that the bankrupt party made?

I need to file an adversary proceeding for undue hardship relating to my bankruptcy case #06-20160 Chapter 7 Western District of Lousisana. My debts were discharged on 8/29/06. I received a letter from one of my debtors after the discharge informing me that my debts with them had not been discharged without a favorable ruling from an adversary proceeding for undue hardship. I have been on social security diability since 1993 and have medical documentation as well a letter from SSD stating that I am still disabled. I am having trouble finding an attorney to file this proceeding for me. Every bankruptcy attorney I have spoken to says they only handle new bankruptcy cases.I have found the legal form for adversary proceeding on your website but I am not sure how to go about filing it myself and representing myself in this process. I would prefer having proper legal representation in this matter. What can I do? What type of attorney should I seek out?
