As of June 1, 2014, the court charges and collects $310.00 for a Chapter 13 filing and $335.00 for a Chapter 7 filing. The second component are the attorney fees, and that amount is going to depend on the complexity of your case.
For Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you can expect the attorney fees to range between $1200-$1800, depending on the specifics.
Wages you earn and property you acquire (except for inheritances) after the bankruptcy filing date are yours, not the creditors or bankruptcy court. There is no minimum amount of debt required. Your case is often over and completely discharged in about 3-6 months.
This “exemption” simply means that you can have up to approximately $20,000 of equity per person that is fully protected when you file Chapter 7 in Indiana. You will not usually lose your house in Indiana if you have less (or similar) equity to this amount.May 10, 2016
After bankruptcy you are free to own, buy, sell, transfer or give away anything you want. The bankruptcy laws provide that any property acquired after bankruptcy ‑ or any property you had when you filed your bankruptcy case but was exempt ‑ is yours to do as you see fit.
