For cases filed after May 1 2024 the median income for a single person in Virginia is about 66000 per year. If your income is above the median you may still qualify after deducting allowed expenses.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Virginia?
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 time limits are set by federal law and apply to all states including Virginia.

Virginia law provides a homestead exemption of up to 25000 for real property. If your home equity is less than this amount you can usually keep your house in a Chapter 7 case. In Chapter 13 you can keep your home by catching up on missed payments through a repayment plan.
