Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Tennessee?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy wipes out most unsecured debts but requires you to pass a means test based on Tennessee median income. Chapter 13 involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan for people with regular income who want to keep assets like a home or car. Your lawyer can explain which option fits your situation.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Hixson Tennessee?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 3 to 6 months from filing to discharge. Chapter 13 plans last 3 to 5 years. Tennessee courts follow federal rules and local procedures that can affect timing.
Can I keep my house and car if I file for bankruptcy in Tennessee?
Tennessee allows you to use state exemptions to protect equity in your home and vehicle. For example you can exempt up to 5000 of equity in a home and up to 4000 in a vehicle. A lawyer can help you apply these exemptions correctly.
