Dischargeability Complaint

Drafts a court-ready adversary complaint under 11 U.S.C. §523 for U.S. bankruptcy proceedings, with jurisdiction/venue allegations, evidence-anchored counts, and FRBP compliance.

Quick Start

Collect before drafting:

• Standing: Plaintiff's enforcement right (original creditor, assignee, successor, subrogee)
• Case data: Court, case number, chapter, petition date, first §341 date, conversion status
• Deadline posture: FRBP 4007(c) timing — confirm filing window or extension basis
• Evidence: Contracts, account records, correspondence, payment history, admissions, fiduciary documents
• §523 theories: Map each subsection to its required elements under controlling circuit law
• Damages: Principal, contractual interest, statutory interest, fees, costs
• Local rules: Caption format, paragraph style, line numbering, font/margins, filing protocol
