The main purpose of the bankruptcy court’s discharge debts determined to give a debtor a fresh start. A bankruptcy discharge releases the debtor from personal liability for specific types of debts. The bankruptcy discharge varies depending on the chapter of bankruptcy a debtor files. Unless there is lawsuit involving objections to discharge, the debtor usually automatically receives a discharge.

In Chapter 7 cases, management is not an absolute right of the debtor. An objection to the debtor’s discharge may be filed by a creditor, the trustee in the case. Creditors receive a notice shortly after the case is submitted to the deadline for filing objections to discharge. To oppose the discharge of the debtor, the creditor must file a lawsuit called litigation before the deadline in the notice. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the court usually grants the discharge promptly on expiration of the deadline for filing a complaint to object to the discharge or request for dismissal of the case. Bankruptcy court issues a discharge order 60 days after the first date set for the creditors meeting or nearly four months after the date the debtor files the petition with the bankruptcy court.
