Chapter 13 Filing Requirements

A chapter 13 bankruptcy case begins with the filing a petition with the bankruptcy court serving the area where the debtor lives. For those residing in Hancock County, Indiana, that is the Indiana Southern Bankruptcy Court located at courthouses in Indianapolis, New Albany, Evansville, and Terre Haute.

Unless told otherwise, a Hancock County debtor will be required to file:

• Schedules outlining assets and liabilities
• Schedule of current income and expenditures
• Schedule of executor contracts and unexpired leases
• Statement of financial affairs
• Certificate of credit counseling and a copy of any debt repayment plan that was developed during credit counseling
• Evidence of payment from employers received 60 days before filing
• Statement of monthly net income and any anticipated increase in income and expenses after filing
• Record of any interest the debtor has in federal or state-qualified education or tuition accounts

The debtor must also provide the chapter 13 bankruptcy trustee with a copy of his most recent tax return, as well as tax returns filed during the bankruptcy case. Spouses may file individual or joint petitions, and the courts are required to charge a $235 case filing fee and a $46 miscellaneous administrative fee.
