Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Re: bankrutcy

A chapter 7 bankruptcy can only be filed 8 years after a previous chapter 7 bankruptcy, or six years after a previous chapter 13 bankruptcy. A chapter 13 can be filed in as little as 4 years after a previous chapter 7, or 2 yeas from a previous chapter 13. There are some exceptions to those rules, however, you need to consult with a local bankruptcy attorney to determine how your unique circumstances my affect the foregoing rules.
