Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Massachusetts?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in Massachusetts your household income must be below the state median for your family size. This median is updated regularly by the U.S. Trustee. If your income is higher you may still qualify after passing a means test.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Newton Massachusetts?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 4 to 6 months from filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 case involves a repayment plan lasting 3 to 5 years. The court process in Massachusetts follows federal rules and local procedures.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Massachusetts?
You may keep your home if you have enough equity covered by the Massachusetts homestead exemption. The state exemption protects up to $500,000 of equity in your primary residence. If your equity exceeds that amount you might need to use Chapter 13 to catch up on payments.
