Of course. Filing for bankruptcy, put simply, is showing the court that your debts and financial obligations substantially exceed your income. The fact that you are self employed will not serve as a bar to your bankruptcy application but you will need to show detailed and accurate records of income and various expenses to establish the deficiency.
Yes you can file for bankruptcy if you are unemployed.
Yes- a chapter 7, but not chapter 13, as that requires a regular income.
You don't need a job to file Chapter 7!
You can only file bankruptcy without a spouse in cases where the debt is yours only. For example, if you have a credit card that is in your name only then you can file without your husband.
Sure
If you file bankruptcy, you file bankruptcy on everything. You can not file bankruptcy on one loan.
It depends, usually after you file bankruptcy they take all your vehicles but one of them so that way you have one vehicle to get back and forth for emergencies. When you file bankruptcy and have a job, they usually limit the amount of money coming into your household too.
Absolutely. Happens all the time.
Yes, but if the debtor ever used a phony social security, some districts will NOT allow the person to file a bankruptcy.
Ummm i think so!!
It's very difficult to file without a lawyer, but it can be done. The US government themselves lay out the process at http://www.uscourts.gov/FederalCourts/Bankruptcy/BankruptcyResources/FilingBankruptcyWithoutAttorney.aspx
Yes.
Not without the approval of the court
No they never did file for bankruptcy
