Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Connecticut?
Chapter 7 eliminates most unsecured debts after non-exempt assets are sold. Chapter 13 creates a 3 to 5 year repayment plan. Connecticut allows you to keep more property under Chapter 7 using state exemptions than federal exemptions.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in West Hartford?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 3 to 6 months from filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 case lasts 3 to 5 years while you make payments. The automatic stay stops most collection actions immediately after filing.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Connecticut?
Yes, you may keep your home if you are current on payments and the equity is within Connecticut exemption limits. The state homestead exemption protects up to 75,000 dollars of equity. A lawyer can help you apply the correct exemptions.
