Commonly Asked Bankruptcy Questions From Users Near You

Can I file bankruptcy if my home is paid for and how does it work if I own a few stocks for retirement and a small IRA?

Answered by attorney David Alan Kubat
Bankruptcy lawyer at David A. Kubat, Attorney at Law
Yes, you can file either a chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy, depending on how much your house would sell for right now. If your house value is not within the homestead exemption you can claim in bankruptcy, you could lose it in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, but it would be very unlikely in a chapter 13. Please consult a local bankruptcy attorney in your area to discuss your situation. You don't want to guess about this and be wrong.

If we did not reaffirm on mortgage after filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, can we walk away from the mortgage?

Yes, you can walk away and not owe the mortgage a dime. A foreclosure in Florida can take a long time.

Do I qualify to file if I owe $5000 in rent, $2800 in car payments, $2000 in hospital, $1800 for cell phone, $600 in electric and $500 gas bills?

I wouldn't recommend bankruptcy for this amount of debt, but others may say differently depending on your income level.
