Bankruptcy can be filed anytime - often the sooner the better. Meet with a good Bankruptcy lawyer in your area to discuss.

Some of the circumstances you have mentioned are exactly why people file. Timing can be an issue in when to file, so it is best to go in and sit down with a bankruptcy attorney for a free consultation to determine when the best time to file would be, determine your eligibility for different chapters, and to find out all of your options (including not filing at all).

The circumstances you describe are all common reasons people file. Now is a good time to sit down with a lawyer as in some cases a quick filing, if you're eligible, will help you. Feel free to call me at 404-768-3509 if you have additional questions.
