What is the timeline for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy?

A Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a process that allows businesses in Virginia to restructure their debt. The timeline for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy typically takes several months. To begin the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process, the debtor must file a petition with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The petition must include a list of all the debtor’s creditors, a list of all of their assets and liabilities, the debtor’s monthly income, and the debtor’s expenses. Once the case is approved by the court, the debtor will be allowed to operate their business under Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The debtor will continue to pay their creditors, and the payments are overseen by a bankruptcy trustee. The debtor will be allowed to propose a payment plan to their creditors. This plan must be approved by the bankruptcy court before it can be enacted. Once the plan is approved, the debtor will be required to make payments according to the plan for a period of three to five years. During this period of time, the debtor is protected from being sued by their creditors and the creditors cannot take any legal action against the debtor. Once the payments are complete, the case will be closed and the debtor will be discharged from all their debts. At this point, the debtor is no longer responsible for the debt and the creditors will no longer be able to take any legal action against the debtor. This marks the end of the timeline for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Virginia.
