Generally speaking, if you have not filed a previous Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the past 8 years, Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a good fit for someone in the income situation you describe. There are many factors that may affect which chapter of bankruptcy might benefit you most. I suggest meeting with a local attorney for a free consultation.
