You should have signed a document called "Debtor's Statement of Intention," indicating whether you were surrendering or retaining the vehicle. If you checked off "surrendering," you can do it any time. If you checked off "retain and pay off the debt," it gets more complicated and may require an amended Statement of Intention. Every Bankruptcy Court is a little different.

The answer you got about each state being different is wrong, this is federal court, same all across the country. You have to tell your lawyer what you'd like to do, the events in bankruptcy court are scheduled and need to be documented by one side or the other.
If you just give the car back without the proper paperwork you're creating a mess for yourself. Call and ask him, his secretary can probably tell you.

every state does things a bit different, your best bet is to check wth your lawyer, theres more then one way you could have filed, depends on how it is listed and what you have signed and agreed to. My advice is to always go through the lawyer, that what you pay him for.

You are probably going to need to amend your bankrutpcy petition, so you need to speak to your lawyer. You can surrender your leased car when you want, I guess, or you could probably keep it, if you want, because you don't have any equity in it.
