The bankruptcy system is governed by federal law. However, where you live does play a role in some aspects of bankruptcy. Here you'll find information important to filing for bankruptcy in Kentucky, including:
- Kentucky Bankruptcy Exemptions. Exemptions play a big role in bankruptcy -- they determine what property you keep in Chapter 7 bankruptcy and influence how much your monthly payment will be in Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
- Kentucky Filing Information. If you file in Kentucky, it helps to have links to your local bankruptcy courts and know which credit counseling agencies are approved by the bankruptcy trustee. In addition, you'll need to know the state median income to complete the means test (which determines eligibility for Chapter 7 bankruptcy).
