Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Opelika?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in Alabama, you must pass the means test, which compares your income to the median income for a household of your size in Alabama. For cases filed in 2024, the median income for a single person is about $52,000 and for a family of four it is about $75,000. If your income is above the median, you may still qualify after deducting allowed expenses.
What property can I keep if I file bankruptcy in Alabama?
Alabama law allows you to choose between state and federal exemptions. State exemptions include up to $5,000 in home equity, one vehicle up to $3,500, and personal property up to $3,000. Federal exemptions allow up to $27,900 in home equity and up to $1,550 for a vehicle. Your lawyer can help you decide which set of exemptions is better for your situation.
How long does a Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan last in Alabama?
