If I file for bankruptcy, can I get my license back?

Many times licenses are suspended for parking tickets, for child support, for driving without insurance.  These suspensions can be lifted during a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, during the 110 days of your case.  Now, this is not a lot of time to repay the debt; however, it does unfreeze the suspension, give you the opportunity to drive and an opportunity to work out some type of installment payment plan prior to your case coming to a conclusion.
If, after your Chapter 7 case is completed, you don’t have the ability to repay, then you are subject to another suspension.  The best way to stop this is file a Chapter 13.  Chapter 13 basically says that you are going to repay the debt that’s owed due to parking tickets, child support, driving without insurance or some other reason for your suspension, possibly moving violations; over the next 3 to 5 years.  By stretching out over 3 to 5 years, you give yourself a huge cushion of time to repay the debt.  You might want to pay back 100% so that you don’t owe anything after your Chapter 13 is completed or you may wish to do a 10% plan and be subject to the balance due at the end of your case.
In any event, having your driver’s license is very important to reorganize, to get to work, to be able to earn money, to be able to provide for yourself and for your family.  So either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 is going to provide some sort of relief in other words to get your license back.  If you find that the debt owed based on your license suspension is large, then you might request a Chapter 13 and get a long period of time to repay it back.  There is nothing worse than filing a Chapter 7, undoing a suspension just to see another suspension come on 110 days after filing.  Talk to your attorney about what your rights are and what your obligations are and how either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 can help you get your license unsuspended.
