General Information
- On joint cases, any Court notices that are sent to both the primary debtor and the joint debtor are sent in one single envelope if both debtors live at the same address.
- If the joint debtor wishes to have all notices that are addressed to them sent in a separate envelope, a Request for Separate Notice should be filed with the Court.
- The Request for Separate Notice is not required if the primary debtor and joint debtor live at different addresses. If they live at different addresses, all notices from the Court are automatically sent to each debtor separately at their respective address.
- A Request for Separate Notice can only be filed by a debtor in a joint case. Creditors seeking to be added to the case to receive notice should use the Request for Notice event.
Filing requirements
- Notice must be signed by the debtor or debtor's attorney.
- A proposed order is not required.
