Where does my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy case get filed?
If you live in the Metro Detroit Area it will be filed in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division located at 211 West Ford, Downtown Detroit. Remember, bankruptcy law is a federal law and is therefore assigned to the Federal District Courts. The Bankruptcy Courts are a subset of the Federal District Courts and hear all cases assigned to them. All cases filed in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Monroe, St. Clair and Washtenaw Counties must all be filed in the Detroit Bankruptcy Court. If you live in the Flint or Bay City area, your case may be filed in there own jurisdiction.
