A Chapter 7 bankruptcy case typically lasts between three and four months. Once the case is filed, there is a meeting of creditors (known as the 341 meeting) approximately 30-40 days after the case is filed. After the meeting, creditors have approximately 60 days to file objections or adversarial complaints to the debtor's discharge. Once that time frame has expired, the Clerk of the US Bankruptcy Court will send the Discharge Order to all creditors, to the debtor and to the debtor's attorney.
