The bankruptcy court will normally enter a discharge in your bankruptcy case approximately 60 (sixty) days from your meeting of creditors date.
Bankruptcy Rule of Procedure 4004(c) provides that discharge should be granted when the time for objections to discharge has expired. However, discharge will not enter under certain circumstance, such as if a creditor has filed an objection to discharge, if there is a motion to dismiss, or if you have failed to file a certificate of completion of the financial management course.
Rule 4004(c) states:
(1) In a chapter 7 case, on expiration of the times fixed for objecting to discharge and for filing a motion to dismiss the case under Rule 1017(e), the court shall forthwith grant the discharge unless:
(A) the debtor is not an individual;(B) a complaint, or a motion under § 727(a)(8) or (a)(9), objecting to the discharge has been filed and not decided in the debtor’s favor;(C) the debtor has filed a waiver under § 727(a)(10);(D) a motion to dismiss the case under § 707 is pending;(E) a motion to extend the time for filing a complaint objecting to the discharge is pending;(F) a motion to extend the time for filing a motion to dismiss the case under Rule 1017(e)(1) is pending;(G) the debtor has not paid in full the filing fee prescribed by 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a) and any other fee prescribed by the Judicial Conference of the United States under 28 U.S.C. § 1930(b) that is payable to the clerk upon the commencement of a case under the Code, unless the court has waived the fees under 28 U.S.C. § 1930(f);(H) the debtor has not filed with the court a statement regarding completion of a course in personal financial management as required by Rule 1007(b)(7);(I) a motion to delay or postpone discharge under § 727(a)(12) is pending; or(J) a motion to enlarge the time to file a reaffirmation agreement under Rule 4008(a) is pending;(K) a presumption has arisen under § 524(m) that a reaffirmation agreement is an undue hardship; or(L) a motion is pending to delay discharge, because the debtor has not filed with the court all tax documents required to be filed under § 521(f).(2) Notwithstanding Rule 4004(c)(1), on motion of the debtor, the court may defer the entry of an order granting a discharge for 30 days and, on motion within that period, the court may defer entry of the order to a date certain.(3) If the debtor is required to file a statement under Rule 1007(b)(8), the court shall not grant a discharge earlier than 30 days after the statement is filed.(4) In a chapter 11 case in which the debtor is an individual, or a chapter 13 case, the court shall not grant a discharge if the debtor has not filed any statement required by Rule 1007(b)(7).
