What is the name of your state? PA

I paid in full Feb of 2005 to file bankruptcy, it was not actually filed in the courts until Oct. 14 by my attorney, since then I went to a court date on Dec22 for creditors, my attroney told me that my bankruptcy would be discharged 60 days from that date, but now i have received a notice in the mail stating that i have another hearing on 4/13 and it seems to be for the same thing. Can any one tell me is it normally for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy to take this long and how many hearing will there be before the bankruptcy is final? What happens after it is discharged?

Ted, why are you not asking your attorney your questions?
