Questions people ask
Will bankruptcy erase all debt?
No. Some debts, such as most child support and many student loans, usually are not discharged.

A bankruptcy stays on a credit report for years, but many people rebuild afterward.
Which chapter is right for me?
It depends on income, assets and goals. A lawyer can compare them for your case.
