I filed bankruptcy chapter 13 can I keep an award lawsuit settlement in Texas? Discrimination award settlement.

In a Chapter 13, you do not forfeit any assets that are not exempt, but you do have to pay the value of any nonexempt asset to your unsecured creditors under the plan. Your attorney should have advised you whether or not this suit was an exempt asset or not, but to help you, I am posting a description of the exemptions laws in all 50 states for you to review. When an asset isn't specifically listed as an available exemption, it usually means you must pay for the value of the asset in a Chapter 13 - called "liquidation value." Hope this perspective helps!

The good news is that you have the right to voluntarily dismiss your chapter 13 if that is what you decide to do. Whether or not you dismiss the case will depend on whether the law protects discrimination lawsuit proceeds. It also depends on how long it will take to collect the proceeds, how much the proceeds are, how much you owe to your creditors. No one is going to be able to answer your question unless they have a lot more facts. Your attorney does. Set up an appointment to meet with your attorney in their office. Next week. Good Luck!

You need to discuss this with the attorney you hired, there is no way to know the facts of your case online.

You need to go see your attorney. Such a question is too general in nature to be able to give any good advice. You must review your financials and property situation with your attorney.
