When does court start checking into your personal records?

Mark J Markus
Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
You have a big misconception about how the process works and you should be asking your lawyer these questions.  If they haven't explained the process to you, you should hire a different attorney.  Plain and simple. First of all, the bankruptcy court doesn't "check" into anything.  There are certain documents that must be submitted to the court (such as the bankruptcy petition and schedules) and some that get sent to the Trustee in your case (such as tax returns).  Which documents depends on which chapter you are filing. Obviously none of these get submitted until your case is filed. Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

Does it cost anything to declare bankruptcy?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
The court charges a filing fee of $306 for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and about $281 for a chapter 13. It's best to hire a lawyer, since you can get into needless complications otherwise.

Which chapter do we file to cover credit cards and health bills only?

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
There is no chapter in bankruptcy that will let you pick and chose which debts to include and allow you to leave some off. Although you are welcome to continue to pay for your house and your car after filing bankruptcy, these debts must be included. The decision of which chapter to file is based on how much money you have left after paying your necessary living expenses and what you want to accomplish in bankruptcy.
