Can I Be Forced to Sell My Home in Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?

If a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy has been filed and the Chapter 13 Plan that is submitted to the Bankruptcy Trustee provides that any overdue amount on the house will be paid through the Plan (along with at least a portion of other unsecured debts), then so long as the debtor remains current on the mortgage payments while making the payments agreed to under the Chapter 13 Plan, the Trustee will most likely not be permitted to force a sale of a house.
