Created in 1978, the Bankruptcy Code contains the rules that provide for bankruptcy relief for businesses or individuals in financial difficulty. There are two options for bankruptcy relief: liquidation (Chapter 7) and reorganization (Chapters 11, 12 and 13). These options are best discussed with a qualified attorney. The Bankruptcy Code is available at law libraries. You may also access the Code via a link from our web site.

The United States Congress has passed bankruptcy reform legislation. This new bankruptcy legislation includes new income considerations when filing for bankruptcy, and will require debtors with income above a certain amount to file Chapter 13 instead of Chapter 7. The Clerk's Office is not allowed to give legal advice and can't tell you how this new legislation will affect you. If you have questions about this, you should contact a qualified bankruptcy attorney.
