There are several types of bankruptcy under United States law. There are federal and state-by-state guidelines and rules. Businesses file for bankruptcy under different rules than individuals and married couples. When you speak with the Orange County bankruptcy attorneys at Stockton Law, they will be able to explain the various kinds of bankruptcy options. Most individuals and married couples file for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. These are also known as "liquidation" and "reorganization", respectively. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy will eliminate most, but not all of your debt. Under Chapter 7, you will still be required to pay things like alimony, child support, student loans and recent IRS tax bills.

Of course, not everyone qualifies for bankruptcy under Chapter 7. If you have enough income to pay your bills, you will probably need to file for Chapter 13.
