Do I have to go to court?

Yes. All filers must attend a hearing that occurs approximately 30 to 45 days after the case is filed. However, it is nothing to be nervous about. It does not take place in a traditional “courtroom” and there is no judge present. The hearings normally are held in office building cubicles or other offices. In virtually all Chapter 7 cases this is the only appearance that must be attended and in many Chapter 13 cases there are also no other appearances needed.
