My husband went bankrupt after our divorce. I had an order for him owing me 35k, he hadn't paid for over a year, then he went bankrupt. We had not worked out a payment plan or anything, I don't think he should have been able to go bankrupt, can I fight this 2 years later? Also, he has a trustee and a conditional discharge. The condition being he must pay me 17k. The trustee tells me that I will receive payment once he has paid the full amount. Should he not have to pay me periodically before that? Am I able to garnish his wages, he claims he is paying the trustee, but how do I know?

Thanks for any help you can give me on this subject

It appears he did a chapter 13 bankruptcy, you would have received notice of his intent to file and had a chance when he filed during various hearings to file varoius motions challenging his filing and also challenging the percentage you were to be paid.

I would ask why you did not hire an attorney to contest this while it was in process ? You may or may not have a right to file or contest at this point, but you need a bankruptcy attorney to review all of this
