Waiting on the discharge order

After your case is file and prior to your discharge order being entered, creditors have an opportunity to object.  Provided that no one objects to your bankruptcy discharge in general or as to any one creditor in particular within a reasonable time set by the bankruptcy clerk, the discharge order will be entered and mailed to all parties, creditors and the attorney for debtor.  The entering of the discharge order is the final process that will occur in your bankruptcy case.  This means that creditors can no longer object to your discharge.  Their opportunity has passed and you are free to live your life with your newfound fresh start.  You can now begin to sort through the many offers for credit that will undoubtedly arrive in your mailbox for the next several months.
