How Calabasas filers pay for bankruptcy
Paying for bankruptcy is usually easier than people expect. Our flat Chapter 7 fee can be paid over time before we file, on a schedule we put in writing. The court's $338 fee can be split into up to four payments within 120 days, and low-income filers can ask to have it waived. Many clients also use the money they had been sending to credit card companies, after checking with us first.

A Calabasas renter at the median rent spends about $37,068 a year on housing. If household income is below 150% of the poverty guideline, such as $23,940 for one person in 2026, the court may waive the $338 Chapter 7 fee when you also cannot pay in installments. Everyone else can split that fee into up to four payments within 120 days. Our flat attorney fee can be paid on a payment plan, and for homeowners who need Chapter 13, most of the fee goes through the plan.
