Bankruptcy is a Federal law. So, it applies in KY too. But bankruptcy is not for a specific debt. It effects everything you owe and everything you own.
If your home loan is included in your bankruptcy, the code describing your repayment behavior on your credit report for this loan will change. If the bank forecloses on your home, the code describing your repayment behavior on your credit report for this loan will change. The loan will have one coded description of your repayment behavior. Credit Agencies only care about your repayment habits, not which mechanism cost you your home. There is no separate report. Your credit is going to be BAD for many years. Whether the house was part of the bankruptcy or whether it was taken in a foreclosure action will not matter (it's not like one is better than the other).
When you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, your home is generally protected from foreclosure, as the bankruptcy process allows you to create a repayment plan to catch up on any missed mortgage payments over three to five years. You can keep your home as long as you adhere to the repayment plan and continue making your regular mortgage payments. However, if you fail to comply with the plan or miss payments, you risk losing your home. It's essential to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to understand your specific situation and options.
Bankruptcy plays vital role in your life if you are facing financial problems or having unsecured loans like medical bills, repayment loans,wage garnishment.

Yes, you can seek help with home repairs while in Chapter 13 bankruptcy, but it may depend on your specific financial situation and the terms of your repayment plan. It's essential to prioritize necessary repairs, especially if they impact the safety or livability of your home. However, any new debts incurred for repairs may need approval from the bankruptcy court. Consulting with your bankruptcy attorney can provide guidance tailored to your circumstances.
If what you want to do is give up your home so you don't have to pay the mortgage anymore, then the answer is yes. However, if you want to give up your home, then you should really consider a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which does not require a repayment plan.

You are not left in bankruptcy, you enter into it willingly. In chapter 13 you enter into a repayment plan and all your debts are paid in about 5 years. chapter 7 negates all debts that are unsecured like credit cards and leaves you with only your secured debt like home and cars. In both cases you keep your vehicle and home

You should consider filing for bankruptcy before a foreclosure proceeding begins or as soon as you receive a foreclosure notice. Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help you reorganize your debts and create a repayment plan, potentially allowing you to keep your home. Chapter 7 bankruptcy may provide immediate relief by temporarily halting foreclosure, but it might not allow you to keep your home if you can't catch up on payments. Consulting with a bankruptcy attorney can help determine the best course of action based on your specific situation.
