Chapter 7
Chapter 7 is the most common type of bankruptcy filed and it offers several advantages over the 3 to 5 year payment plans of Chapter 13.
Chapter 13
Generally speaking, a person files Chapter 13 when they are somehow disqualified from filing Chapter 7 or they need the special protection offered in Chapter 13.

I was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, the 3rd of six children. We grew up in the meat packing district of South Omaha. I graduated from Omaha Central High School 1985.
I was born in Moab, Utah and graduated from Grand County High School. I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of Utah in Sociology. I attended Creighton Law school and graduated in 2004. I have been practicing bankruptcy ever since graduating from law school.
I now live in Omaha with my husband and three girls. If I have a free minute, I love reading science fiction, working on my latest quilt, or knitting a sweater.
