How To ProcessOverviewUpdated: Wednesday, January 31, 2024Overview: A Motion to Approve Reaffirmation Agreement is filed to request the court approve the terms of a reaffirmation agreement with a pro se debtor. At a scheduled hearing, the court will inform the debtor that the reaffirmation agreement is not required and of the legal effects and consequences of entering into, or defaulting on, the agreement. The court will determine if the agreement imposes an undue hardship on the debtor, or their dependents and if the agreement is in the best interest of the debtor.
