Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Albuquerque?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharges most unsecured debts after selling non-exempt assets, while Chapter 13 requires a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income. In New Mexico, the median income for a single person is around $52,000, which affects eligibility for Chapter 7. A lawyer can help you decide which chapter fits your situation.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in New Mexico?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 3 to 6 months from filing to discharge. Chapter 13 cases last 3 to 5 years. The court in Albuquerque requires a meeting of creditors about 30 to 45 days after filing. All cases must include a pre-filing credit counseling course and a post-filing debtor education course.
What property can I keep if I file for bankruptcy in New Mexico?
New Mexico allows you to choose between state and federal exemptions. State exemptions protect up to $60,000 of home equity, one vehicle up to $8,000, and personal property up to $5,000. Federal exemptions offer different limits. Your lawyer can help you select the best set of exemptions for your assets.
