If the Court sets a hearing to consider a reaffirmation agreement, the Debtor shall appear at the hearing. The hearing will be evidentiary.

Unless the attorney has withdrawn as attorney for the Debtor under S.D.Ind. B-9010-1, an attorney who files a petition on behalf of a Debtor or an attorney in the same firm as the filing attorney shall represent the Debtor during the negotiation and filing of a reaffirmation agreement and appear at related hearings.
