Once you file Chapter 7, the phone calls should stop because a stay will be in effect. In the mean time, you can tell them you are filing, or not. Your choice. However, I would recommend going ahead and telling them, since they might call a little less frequently. Typically, they will ask what chapter you are filing, and when you expect to file. Later, they will want the case number. If you have an attorney represent you, you can direct them to speak to the attorney, rather than call you.

As legal owner of the vehicle, you can be potentially held liable if that vehicle is involved in an incident that causes injury or damage. You can always try to indemnify yourself in your agreement with the prospective buyer, but in reality, you will be named in a lawsuit, and be forced to defend yourself and/or the terms of the agreement. The cost and potential exposure against you is likely too great to justify selling the car under these terms. It seems more prudent to simply sell the...

In my experience, premise liability/negligence cases are usually litigated in Court before a resolution is reached. For this reason, the injuries (and value of the case) need to be high enough to justify the cost/expense associated with litigation. If you cannot work directly with the park owners (or their insurance carrier) to achieve a settlement, and cannot find an attorney to take the case, you should consider filing a case in small claims court. The amount you can recover is less that...

Please provide additional information and facts, so that a better answer can be provided.
A chapter 7 doesn't allow for an exemption close to the amount of equity your parents have in their home. It does seem like credit counseling, and perhaps speaking with the creditors to work out a settlement, would be options to consider.
I don't believe that having your license now will help you. As for the reason you were driving alone with your permit, the judge may allow you to testify. However, I would highly recommend that you have an attorney represent you. A driver's license is a privilege, and you don't want to lose the license you are now attemtping to obtain because you don't know how to properly defend yourself.
In my letter of representation on behalf of an injured client, I always ask for the insurance carrier to inform me of the policy limits involved. It helps to resolve the claim and prevent litigation in some cases. Iif the limits are not revealed, I will simply file suit and obtain the information through formal discovery. Since the limits will be revealed at some point, it seems best to reveal them early on rather than force a lawsuit to be filed.
It sounds like you are talking about two different things. Spousal support is typically defined as monetary support one spouse pays to the other as part of a dissolution proceeding. Deciding how your property will be handled in the event of your death or incapacity is usually taken care of through estate planning (the preparation of wills, a trust, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives). If you are talking about spousal support as part of your divorce, you can certainly include that...
