I am in Ch 13 bankruptcy in Massachusetts
and also fell behind in
my lease payments for an automobile by 4 months.
The finance company has ordered me to either file
a motion to reject the lease and give up the car
or file a motion to accept the lease and become
current on my payments. I have become current on
my payments but they still insist I need to file
the motion to accept. My bankruptcy lawyer wants
$350 to file the motion on my behalf. My question
is, Can I file this motion myself or must an
attorney do it for me?

My response:

Sure, you can do it yourself. All because you have an attorney, doesn't mean that you can't become an active participant in your case. Remember, it's your case, it's your file. Just be aware - - - if you screw things up, your attorney just might file his own motion; to be relieved from representing you.

Thank you very much for your reply. My follow-up
question is, is there legal language I must use for
the motion? Would you or anyone else let me know
what I must include in the motion?
