The stack of forms to file bankruptcy is about 1/4 inch thick, there are Mandatory Credit Counseling and Debtor Education courses to take, and a Meeting of Creditors that you must attend.
To fill out the bankruptcy forms, you can consult a "Bankruptcy Software for Consumers" program. You can find a quality one for under $45 online. Most bankruptcy software companies also post a "Bankruptcy without an Attorney" tutorial on their website, to guide you through the non-paperwork steps of a typical bankruptcy.
You can find a detailed tutorial at the following link:

You can get bankruptcy forms for your state online.
Also,Consumer Credit Counseling service, in your state, will review your situation and give you a certificate. My understanding is that you must have the certificate to file. And, for anyone filing in Hawaii, the MAXIMUM amount of equity you have in your home, for a couple, is $40,200.00. So, if you owe $120K and your home would sell/list for $150K you have $30K in equity and you can keep your home. All forms are online with the US Bankruptcy court including the fee waiver (for the $299.00 filing fee) as well as the pay-in-installment form. Hope these additional add-ons help and good luck to you!
