Bankruptcy is designed for people caught in severe financial circumstances beyond their control such as illness or loss of a job. It gives people with excessive debt an opportunity to make a fresh start by reducing or eliminating the debt. While some debts will be eliminated, others such as alimony and child support, will not be discharged.
Bankruptcy is a constitutional right, governed by state and federal law, to ask a court to declare a person unable to pay his or her debts.
The two most frequently filed bankruptcy are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13.
Chapter 7 is an option for individuals and small businesses to discharge virtually all outstanding debt.
Chapter 13 is an alternative option suitable for families and individuals who are attempting to save their home or are in an income bracket which would allow them to be able to fund a plan to pay off a portion or all of their debts over a three to five year period. This option is considered a reorganization of debt.
