Can I file bankruptcy while unemployed?
A San Jose bankruptcy attorney blogs on the Question: Can I file bankruptcy while unemployed?
Answer: Yes. A debtor can file bankruptcy while unemployed. Generally, a debtor must provide six months worth of pay stubs when they submit their petition. If, however, a debtor is unemployed, they must simply file a declaration of unemployment with the court. Thus, a debtor can file bankruptcy while unemployed.
While a debtor can file bankruptcy while unemployed, if the debtor has no means of income a debtor probably will not be able to file a "feasible" Ch. 13 plan. An experienced attorney can provide guidance in these situations.
