Simple Chapter 7 cases in Glendale, California
That is the simplest Chapter 7 profile: wage income, an ordinary car, and no business. The California median is $102,797 for two people and $116,541 for three, so a family earning the city's typical $88,393 has room under both. A case becomes more complex when you own a home or run a business with equipment, stock or workers. Recent large gifts or repayments to family also need a careful look. If that sounds like you, our California median income page is a good place to start.
What can make a Chapter 7 cost more
Here is what usually turns a simple case into a bigger one: property the exemptions do not fully cover, business income or debts, a recent large payment to a relative, an older bankruptcy, or a creditor who sues inside the case. You will know before you hire us if any of these apply.

You can pay it in up to four installments within 120 days, or ask the court to waive it if your household income is under 150% of the federal poverty guideline.
