Are there any limits to my spending during the bankruptcy process?

Yes, there are limits to spending during the bankruptcy process in Utah. The bankruptcy laws in Utah state that debtors may not incur any new debt or make any luxury purchases while the bankruptcy process is taking place. The bankruptcy court must approve all major purchases during the bankruptcy process. This includes any purchases over $500, including cars, furniture, appliances, vacations, and other nonessential purchases. Debtors must also adhere to a spending plan set by the bankruptcy court. This includes budgeting income for regular living expenses, such as groceries and utilities, as well as money for repaying creditors. Debtors may not use their income to pay for items that are not specified in the budget. Finally, debtors must not transfer any of their assets or money to anyone else during the bankruptcy process. This includes giving away or selling property, filing joint tax returns, and gifting money to family or friends. Violating these spending limits could result in the bankruptcy being dismissed or the debtor being charged with fraud.
