Frequently Asked Questions
What types of bankruptcy are available in Santa Paula?
Individuals in Santa Paula typically file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 7 involves liquidating non-exempt assets to pay debts, while Chapter 13 creates a repayment plan over 3 to 5 years. A lawyer can help you decide which option fits your situation.
How does the California means test affect my case?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in California, you must pass the means test, which compares your income to the state median for your household size. If your income is above the median, you may need to file for Chapter 13 instead. Your lawyer can calculate this for you.
What property can I keep if I file for bankruptcy in California?
California offers two sets of exemptions: System 1 and System 2. You can choose either set to protect your home, car, and personal belongings. For example, System 2 provides a generous homestead exemption of up to $600,000 or more depending on your county.
