Bankruptcy filing considered all the debts. So after filling bankruptcy the person cannot prioritize the debts. All the creditors should be ignored. If the person who has filled bankruptcy is found paying to the family members the trustee has the right recover that amount.
After bankruptcy is filled the usage of credit cards should be blocked. If it is found that the debtor used his or her credit card to purchase any item that exceeds five hundred dollars within ninety days of filling then those expenditures can be considered as non discharged expenses.
Suppose a person is having any civil case pending against him or her, then that person must disclose it to the bankruptcy trustee.
