Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in California?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharges most unsecured debts after you sell non-exempt assets. Chapter 13 bankruptcy requires a 3 to 5 year repayment plan. Your income and assets determine which option is available to you under California law.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in South Pasadena?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 4 to 6 months from filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 case lasts 3 to 5 years while you make payments. The timeline depends on court schedules and the complexity of your case.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in California?
Yes, you may keep your home if you use California homestead exemptions. The exemption amount depends on your county and how long you have lived in the home. A lawyer can help you calculate the protected equity.
