What takes place at the Confirmation Hearing?

At the Confirmation hearing, your Judge will determine if your plan should be approved or your case should be dismissed.  The Trustee will recommend confirmation (approval) of your plan if the Trustee believes that the plan complies with the legal requirements for Chapter 13 Cases.  If the Trustee determines that the plan is deficient, your attorney will be informed of the deficiencies by letter or e-mail approximately two weeks before the Confirmation Hearing.  Copies of any revised or amended documents must be received by the Trustee at least three (3) days prior to the Confirmation Hearing.  Your attorney must appear at any Confirmation Hearing.  If you are proceeding without an attorney, you must be present.
