Frequently Asked Questions
What types of bankruptcy are most common in Lihue?
The most common types are Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which discharges most unsecured debts, and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which involves a repayment plan over three to five years. Hawaii residents often use Chapter 7 to eliminate credit card debt and medical bills.
How does the Hawaii homestead exemption work in bankruptcy?
Under Hawaii law, you can exempt up to $30,000 of equity in your home, or up to $60,000 if you are married and file jointly. This exemption helps protect your primary residence from being sold by the bankruptcy trustee.
Do I need to live in Lihue for a certain time to file bankruptcy there?
Yes, you must have lived in Hawaii for at least 91 days before filing. If you moved to Lihue recently, you may need to wait or file in your previous state. The case is filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Hawaii, which has a division in Honolulu but holds hearings in Lihue.
