- 1). Request that the judge presiding over your case grant you an extension. You must make this request either in writing or verbally during a proceeding in your bankruptcy case. You will need to explain the reasons that you need an extension and make a compelling argument.
- 2). Continue your case as if you were not granted an extension until you have received a formal indication that the judge has granted your request for extension.
- 3). Proceed with your case in a timely manner, and ensure that you make all deadlines, especially if you were granted an extension of time. In order to receive the benefits of bankruptcy, you need to ensure your compliance with all court requirements, such as counseling or filing required documents.
