Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Georgia?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in Georgia you must pass the means test which compares your income to the median income for a Georgia household of your size. As of 2025 the median income for a single person in Georgia is around $60,000 per year. If your income is above this level you may still qualify after deducting allowed expenses.
What property can I keep in a Georgia bankruptcy?
Georgia allows you to use either the state exemptions or the federal exemptions but not both. State exemptions include up to $21,500 in home equity and up to $5,000 in vehicle equity. You can also protect certain personal property such as clothing and household goods.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Georgia?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. You can begin rebuilding your credit soon after your case is discharged.
