Qualifying for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
You must pass a means test before you can file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The means test is used to verify that you don't have the means to resolve your debt through other methods.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the 2008 median household income in Oklahoma was $42,822. If your income falls below that, you will qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. However, if your income is above $42,822, you may still qualify. Rest assured, I will always take the time to explain how the means test works, answer any questions that you may have, and help determine whether you qualify.
