How do I know if I will qualify for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

In order to qualify for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in California, you must pass the means test. The means test is used to determine if you have enough money to pay back your creditors. To pass the means test, you must have an income that is below the median income for your family size in the state of California. If your income is above the median income, you may still qualify for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy if you can prove you have too much debt and not enough money to pay it back. You must also show that the money you have to pay back your creditors is not enough to pay off all of your debts. The court will look at your income, expenses, and assets to determine if you can pay back your creditors. If the court finds that you are unable to pay back your creditors within three to five years, you will qualify for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. The court will also look at your debts to determine if you qualify for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Certain types of debt, like student loans, are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. If you have debts that are dischargeable in bankruptcy, you will likely qualify for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. You will need to provide evidence to the court to prove that you meet the requirements. Finally, you must file a petition with the court that lists all of your creditors and debts. Additionally, you must attend a credit counseling course and file a Statement of Financial Affairs. Once you have filed your bankruptcy petition, the court will review it and make a decision. If you qualify, the court will discharge your debts, allowing you to start a fresh financial life.
