In a nutshell, Chapter 13 is a reorganization with a payment plan and Chapter 7 is a liquidation without a payment plan. You should consult with a bankruptcy attorney regarding your financial circumstances so that you have guidance in evaluating your options.

Bankruptcy lawyer at John Ceci PLLC
Chapter 7 gets rid of most debts, takes less time and usually costs less. Chapter 13 requires monthly payments to the trustee and the payments will have to be made over 3 to 5 years. But Ch. 13 protects more assets. Without more information it is impossible to tell you whether one is better for you than the other.

Who is responsible for the debt now that my ex-wife was dead but I was listed as the main debtor?

Answered by attorney Daniel A. Edelman

If you in fact were personally obligated on the account, you are responsible. Divorce decrees do not affect the rights of the creditor.
