Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Rhode Island?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in Rhode Island, you must pass the means test, which compares your income to the state median for your household size.

Rhode Island allows you to use either state exemptions or federal exemptions, but not both. State exemptions include up to $500,000 in home equity, $10,000 in vehicle equity, and $2,400 in personal property. You must choose one set of exemptions and cannot switch after filing.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in North Providence?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 3 to 6 months from filing to discharge. Chapter 13 involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan. All cases must include a credit counseling course before filing and a debtor education course after filing.
