How Does Bankruptcy Work?

Bankruptcy is a legal process through which you can deal with your debts by getting out of certain obligations, reducing the amount you must pay, or stopping collection calls. There are three basic types of bankruptcy: Chapter 7, Chapter 13, and Chapter 11.

Here are brief explanations of each type of bankruptcy:

Chapter 7 bankruptcy – This type of bankruptcy requires you to prove that you are unable to pay your debts and involves liquidation of your non-exempt assets. Once you are approved for this type of bankruptcy, your debts will be discharged. This means you will no longer be obligated to pay the debts listed in your petition. With a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you will not be allowed to keep certain assets, such as a second home, a boat, expensive jewelry, and the like.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy– This type of bankruptcy allows you to work with a bankruptcy trustee to develop a payment plan to pay off your debts over a period of three to five years. As long as you can make the payments as they are due, you will be able to keep your home, car, and other assets.
Chapter 11 bankruptcy– This type of bankruptcy is used by businesses and allows them to restructure their debts and continue to operate.

It's important to note that not all debts can be discharged through bankruptcy. For instance, certain tax debts, student loans (in most cases), child support, alimony, and some other types of debts may not be eligible for discharge.

Before filing for bankruptcy, you are required to undergo credit counseling from an approved agency within 180 days of filing. Additionally, bankruptcy filings involve complex paperwork and court proceedings, so hiring a knowledgeable bankruptcy attorney is highly recommended to ensure you understand the process and meet all legal requirements.

My questions were heard and answered without having to ask twice.
“Value a capable team with experienced staff. For the past 9 months, the folks at the Law Offices of Mark Childress handled my case with class and empathy. My questions were heard and answered without having to ask twice. I felt like I was kept in the loop and always briefed properly. As I move forward with other ventures I wouldn't be surprised if we crossed paths again. And hats off to Konner, THANK YOU!”
Mark was there to answer every question, every phone call and did it in a way that I felt as if I were his only client.
“I needed an attorney who would stand up for me and my child during a very hard time. Mark was there to answer every question, every phone call and did it in a way that I felt as if I were his only client. He was very knowledgeable not only about the law but about the opposing attorney and the judge. He prepared me well and we won our case. I would recommend Mark Childress to anyone who is fighting for custody or in need of child support.”
I highly recommend him and his staff. They are courteous, prompt and they care.
“I called in inquiring about a divorce and how it all happens. I had 2 people call me back within an hour and in an hour maybe 2 I was talking with the lawyer. I highly recommend him and his staff. They are courteous, prompt and they care. Divorce is the hardest thing we will go through minus losing a kid and his team will be retained. He even called me back himself the next day to see how I was. Great service.”
This guy is amazing. In a matter of minutes, he accomplished what no other attorney could in 6 years.

My family is finally in tact and everyone is finally happy.”
