Qualifying for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Everyone cannot opt for chapter 7 bankruptcy. The monthly income should be less than the state median to qualify for this bankruptcy chapter. In case the monthly income is higher, you need to pass the means test. This test is used to determine whether you have enough disposable income to pay your debts through a repayment plan.

Apart from the means test, you should not have any dealing in bankruptcy court within 180 days prior to filing for bankruptcy. Additionally, you should have completed the mandatory credit counseling course before filing papers. In case you fail to qualify for Chapter 7, chapter 13 is another option available to get rid of your debts. However, if you qualify for chapter 7 bankruptcy, you will need to submit certain documents with the bankruptcy court. A bankruptcy lawyer can help you gather all relevant financial information and file for bankruptcy.

Both federal and state government provide exemptions to bankruptcy filers. You can choose between either of those sets of exemptions to protect your property. Any non-exempt property you have is liquidated to clear your debts to your creditors.
