What if a Motion for Relief from Stay is only issued for one of the debtors what can the other do?
The other debtor must either make arrangements to pay, modify or otherwise deal with the pre-petition and post-petition arrears and costs and legal fees or be foreclosed upon. A possible action is filing the other debtor’s own bankruptcy, if there is not one outstanding, though this will be short-term relief if the second debtor is not able to file a c. 13 with a plan that will address the arrears. The codebtor needs to get an experienced bankruptcy lawyer – and not the same one representing the other debor.
