To qualify for Chapter 7 in California, your household income must be below the median income for a similar-sized family in California. The median income for a single earner in California is around $65,000, but these figures are updated periodically. A lawyer can perform the means test to see if you qualify.
How long does a Chapter 13 bankruptcy last in California?
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy in California typically lasts 3 to 5 years. You must complete a court-approved repayment plan during this time. The length depends on your income and whether your plan pays unsecured creditors in full.
Can I keep my car if I file for bankruptcy in Temple City?
