From the small amt of information u provider, it would seem as u u would quality for a chapter 7. My office would first have to run a "means test" to confirm this fact.

Your income is not too high to file a chapter 7, but in order to file you also must be within your exemption levels on your property and not have filed a previous chapter 7 within the last 8 years.

There is no requirement that expenses exceed income to file chapter 7. You should also explore chapter 13 to possibly strip the second mortgage.? Consult with a bankruptcy attorney.
