Bankr. E.D. Mo. — General rule
L.R. 2002-2 - Notice of Commencement of Case and § 341 Meeting. A. Service and Form of Notice. The Court will send all notices of commencement of case but is authorized to designate the debtor, Trustee, or other party to provide notice where the interests of justice and efficiency are served. The Clerk of Court is authorized to review the form of all such notices to ensure compliance with the Court's procedures and applicable rules. The notices of commencement for jointly administered cases may be combined into a single notice.
B. Child Support Claimants. The Trustee is not obligated to send notice under Bankruptcy Code §§ 704(c)(1)(A), (B) and (C), 1202(b)(6), or 1302(b)(6) unless a creditor holding a claim for unpaid pre-petition child support contacts the Trustee to request such notice. The duties of the Trustee under these sections will be met if the Trustee provides the notice specified in those sections upon request. The Notice and Order of Commencement and the Discharge Order must contain the following language to give notice to such pre-petition child support creditors. The holder of any claim for unpaid pre-petition child support is entitled to have the Trustee provide such creditor with notice of the creditor's right to use the services of the state child support enforcement agency and supply such creditor with the address and telephone number of the state child support enforcement agency and an explanation of the creditor's rights to payment in the bankruptcy case. Any creditor may request such notice and information by writing the Trustee. Such creditor is further entitled to have the Trustee provide the creditor with (i) notice of the granting of the discharge, (ii) any last known address of the debtor, (iii) the debtor's most recent employer, and (iv) information concerning other claims on which the debtor may be liable following the discharge. Failure to request such information from the Trustee is a waiver of the right to receive such notice from the Trustee.
