What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Massachusetts?

How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Massachusetts?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. These timelines are set by federal law and apply uniformly across all states including Massachusetts.
Can I keep my house in Melrose if I file for bankruptcy?
