Make Fillable Legal Arizona Bankruptcy Forms For Free

The bankruptcy court requires all filers to pay a filing fee. The filing fee for Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases is $335 and the filing fee for a Chapter 13 filing is $310. You can often pay your filing fee in installments over the course of a few months if you have a financial hardship.

Here are some of the exemptions allowed by Arizona bankruptcy law: Homestead - up to $400,000. Bank balance up to $5,000 ( for one account only) Most pension and retirement plans, IRAs and 401(k) accounts (deposited more than 120 days before filing bankruptcy)

The starting point for this calculation is your state's median household income. Median income can be part of the Chapter 7 income limits. If your household income is less than the median household income for the same household size of the state you're filing in, you make less than the income limit.

If your total monthly income over the course of the next 60 months is less than $7,475 then you pass the means test and you may file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If it is over $12,475 then you fail the means test and don't have the option of filing Chapter 7.

Fortunately, you can file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy more than once. In fact, you can file for it every six years from the date of your last filing. Theoretically, you could file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy 10 times or more over the course of your life.
