Unless your case is glaringly abusive, like hiding assets or making purchases intending not to pay them back, your creditors won't object, and the judge will never even consider refusing your case. Your attorney can tell you if you have anything to worry about. The vast, vast majority do not. To those who asked: the criteria for bankruptcy are set by law, not the judge’s whim.

I’m having a hard time finding apartments and I’m having a hard time finding decent paying jobs. I'm currently in school for my bachelors and i'm going to have to pay back school loans in addition to that i'm paying childsupport. What are the cheapest ways for filing bankruptcy? Any advice is appreciated.

On top of that I own more on my car then it's worth. Currently my wages are being garnished by a credit card company. I make just enough to pay rent, car loan, insurance, and food for the month. Looking into the BK option and not sure where to start or even what chapter to file under. So im 25 and have about 16k in CC debt. On top of that I own more on my car then it’s worth.

I was kind of, sort of smart, putting my grad classes on two credit cards instead of taking out school loans(which are almost never forgivable, short of dying, writing from experience my 55 year old brother flatlined for 4 minutes had a massive stroke and school loans are still garnishing money out of his Social Security Disability check. You can get it waved but numerous Doctors have to fill out pages of paperwork on your behalf) Here I was, a supervisor at a world renowned cultural institution and, yep, laid off and broke with $12,000(used to be $ 17,000) in credit card debt. I know its not a lot but the $300.00 in monthly payments have dwindled my savings account. I'm seriously thinking of walking away and declaring bankruptcy. I mean, sure my credit is good, but who cares, what did good credit get any of us anyway. Thank you everyone for your terrific thoughts. In these economic times. I would not be surprised if everyone takes a ding on their credit reports. Hello Everyone and Thank you for the great comments.

Most likely, they'll have Attorney referrals (SF has it for $25.00) - I just contacted them to get myself a BK atty. Good luck. Try your City’s BAR Association.
