How do I file for bankruptcy by myself no lawyers because I can afford a lawyer, can?
It differs somewhat, now. Approx. two years ago, new laws concerning bankruptcy went into effect. The short answer is to look the laws up, online, then get the correct forms from an online form store or someplace like office depot. Go to the federal court house and get copies of other, recent bankruptcy filings, they are a matter of public record, so u can get copies of them. Do what the lawyers did, on these forms, use their language … While at the courthouse, ask the clerk about filing fees, timelines … fill out the forms, alert creditors (notice to creditors) as declared in the instructions, file the forms w/ fed. court and wait for court date. go before the judge and wait for final judgment.
