How Maywood filers pay for bankruptcy
Most people combine two or three of these:
- Spread out the attorney fee. Our Chapter 7 fee is paid before filing, and we work out a payment schedule with you in writing.
- Split the court fee. The $338 filing fee can be paid in as many as four parts, all within 120 days of filing.
- Ask for a waiver. If your household income is low enough, the court may drop the Chapter 7 filing fee entirely.
- Redirect old payments. Money that used to go to credit card minimums often covers the case. Talk to us before you change any payment.
Could your Maywood household get the filing fee waived?
About 19.4% of Maywood residents live below the federal poverty line. If your household income is under 150% of the poverty guideline and you cannot pay in installments, the court may waive the Chapter 7 filing fee.
| Household size | Yearly income |
|---|---|
| 1 person | Under $23,940 |
| 2 people | Under $32,460 |
| 3 people | Under $40,980 |
| 4 people | Under $49,500 |
The court's own form decides the final answer. See filing fees, waivers and installments for how it works.
Making bankruptcy fit a Maywood budget
Maywood families with hospital bills or card debt may have little cash left at the end of the month. We offer payment plans for our attorney fee, so you do not need it all up front. The court lets you pay its $338 Chapter 7 fee in up to four installments within 120 days, or waive it if your income is low enough. For a household of two, the 2026 waiver line is about $32,460 a year. Stopping payments on medical and card debts you plan to wipe out can free up money for the filing.
Affordable Chapter 13 for Maywood families
About 30.5% of Maywood homes are lived in by their owners. Owners behind on a mortgage often need Chapter 13, and its fee works differently. In the Central District, part of a Chapter 13 attorney fee can be paid through the plan instead of up front, and the court limits the standard fee to $7,000 for most consumer cases. The Chapter 13 filing fee is $313. We quote your fee in writing. See what Chapter 13 costs.
