Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Connecticut?
Chapter 7 wipes out most unsecured debts but requires a means test based on Connecticut median income. Chapter 13 involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan for those with regular income. A lawyer can help you decide which option fits your situation.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Portland Connecticut?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 3 to 6 months from filing to discharge. Chapter 13 plans last 3 to 5 years. Connecticut courts follow federal timelines and local rules for case management.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Connecticut?
Connecticut allows a homestead exemption of up to 75 thousand dollars for real property. If your home equity is within this limit you may keep it in Chapter 7. Chapter 13 can also help you catch up on mortgage payments over time.
