Yeah, I had to sign something about child support too. Since I don't have kids I didn't pay much attention to it.
Your trustee will go through your file and ensure that everything is in order. In my case, I had to submit tax returns for the 5 years, and they never asked for them until the end. So I had to provide them when they finally realized that.
The trustee took care of everything else. My wages had been garnished for the 5 years plus a few extra weeks during final processing. They contacted my employer and stopped the garnishment, and then reimbursed me for the overpay.
After that, I just waited until I got the official paperwork showing the discharge (which comes from a federal office, not your trustee). It took 5 months for me to receive that, but others have gotten theirs within a week.
Once you get that, and PACER updates to show the discharge, you're done. Then it's a matter of rebuilding credit and moving forward.
As a point of reference... I filed in Sept 2011. The payments started in June 2012. My final payment was June 2017. I received the official discharge notice in October 2017. Through diligent credit rebuilding, my scores went from about 520 midway through the 5 years, to 570 at discharge. And now hover around 770-800 less than a year later. I just bought a condo last week and bumped my total credit limits from $34k to $53k this week.
