Is this a good time to file Chapter 7?

There is not enough information here to make a recommendation. Bankruptcy is intended to provide the honest but unlucky debtor a "fresh start", financially speaking. You need to speak with a bankruptcy attorney and go over ALL of your finances before you decide to file or wait. Most will provide a half hour free consultation to see if Bankruptcy is appropriate for your situation.

Can I file bankruptcy after receiving court summons?

Michael D. Siegel
Answered by attorney Michael D. Siegel
Bankruptcy lawyer at Siegel & Siegel, P.C.
You can file bankruptcy.  In fact, filing upon being sued is a common time.  However, for $5000 on a claim, assuming this is all the debt you have, you would likely be able to settle the case for less than the legal fee to file.  You would each need to file as only spouses can bring a joint case.

Getting a job during a chapter 7

Mark J Markus
Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
I do not practice in New York, but as long as you properly disclosed the possibility of your income increasing within the 12 months after filing your case, there shouldn't be a problem. Did you have this surgery before or after you filed your bankruptcy case?  If before, then you definitely should have disclosed the possibility of returning to work within the next 12 months.   If after, you still probably should have disclosed it (especially if you knew about the surgery). The means test only looks at income received PRIOR to filing the bankruptcy case, so if your attorney is really saying that the Trustee can use that as a means to get additional funds from you, then he/she doesn't know what they are talking about. However, the court can look at projected income that you KNEW about when your case was filed (which is why Schedule "I" and "J" ask for any changes likely to occur in the 12 months. You should at least wait until after your meeting with the Trustee, but I don't know that it's necessary to wait until the discharge.  But then again, it really depends on the above.   Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.
