Where do Glendale residents file for bankruptcy?
All Arizona bankruptcy cases, including Glendale residents, are filed at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona at 230 N. First Avenue in downtown Phoenix. Your 341 meeting of creditors will also take place there. The drive from Glendale is about 40 minutes or less for most neighborhoods.
Will I lose my house if I file Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Glendale?
In most cases, no. Arizona's homestead exemption protects up to $400,000 of equity in your primary residence, which covers the vast majority of Glendale homeowners. As long as you're current on your mortgage and within the exemption, you keep your home.
How long does Chapter 7 bankruptcy take in Glendale?
Most Chapter 7 cases for Glendale residents complete in 90 to 120 days from the filing date. The 341 meeting of creditors happens about 30 days after filing, and the discharge typically follows 60-90 days later. Chapter 13 involves a 3-5 year repayment plan.
Does bankruptcy stop wage garnishment in Glendale?
Yes. The moment your bankruptcy is filed, an automatic stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362 immediately stops all wage garnishments, bank levies, lawsuits, and collection calls — including garnishments already in progress against Glendale employers.
