Adversary Proceedings

Adversary Proceedings are legal actions within a bankruptcy case that involve disputes between parties. Unlike regular bankruptcy filings, which handle debts and asset distributions, these proceedings address specific issues, such as objections to discharge (which could prevent a debtor from eliminating certain debts), fraud claims, or disputes over property. They operate like civil lawsuits, with both sides presenting evidence and arguments before a judge. This process ensures that all relevant matters are fairly resolved in the context of the bankruptcy case, protecting the rights of creditors and debtors alike.
