But from a tactical point of view, it matters who the lender is and whether
repossession is a likely possibility. Additionally, if the debtors can't
afford the payments, they shouldn't reaffirm. The kids have been living in
la la land financially and now the cord needs to be cut.
Also, from the tactical/legal side, the lender must file a claim under
(a)(6) as a prereq to trigger their right to repossess. If they don't they
have violated the stay.

Yes co-signer should reaffirm or lender will repossess, if contract defines default to include bankruptcy filing of co-borrower. 365(e) & 521(a)(6).

that the parents must face the reality of their situation, so must the
children. The inquiry, though, is what if the parents do not want to
continue assuming the obligation, but the adult children do in order
to retain the vehicle. The parents do not sign a Reffirmation
Agreement, correct? But, can the auto finance company repossess
against the nonfiling co-signor, co-obligor children?
