No, it isn't legal for an employer to fire an employee who files BK or has wages garnished, home foreclosure, etc. If the employer does want to terminate the employee they will manage to find another reason even though the real issue is the person's financial situation.

Yes, but you will still be billed for his or her legal services. And any possible problems with the bankruptcy will be the petitioner's responsibility.


Can you work for the government after filing bankruptcy?

Absolutely! I had a bankruptcy and I enjoy working in a State government. I have colleagues in the FedGov who have had financial problems in their history. The trick is that you show that you're paying your debts on time and explain why you were late in the past. Circumstances happen, and sometimes, people just made bad choices. Either way, the key is time. So, if you've had a bankruptcy just a minute ago, you might have to wait a year or so to show the gov that you are maintaining all your current payments on time and do not live too far above your means.

What happens when your house catches fire and you were planning on filing for chapter 13 Bankruptcy?

Assuming the fire was not set, you should have had insurance. If you had insurance that pays off the mortgage after a fire completely destroys the house, you are OK. If the insurance only pays the fair market value of the house, you will owe a balance. If the house was not completely destroyed, the insurance may pay enough to fix the burned portions. The effect on filing a Chapter 13 depends on possible complicated bankruptcy legal issues, some of which may depend on your state laws regarding homestead. Consult your attorney.

Can i get in trouble for bankruptcy?

Yes, if you fail to disclose all your assets, including any claims you may have for damages or equitable interests that are not yet "ripe," or if you answer any questions falsely or knowingly provide false information. No, if you mean can anyone fire you or discriminate against you because you filed bankruptcy. In states that allow employers to fire at-will employees for no reason, you can be fired. But if you are fired for filing bankruptcy, you may have a defense. Your credit score will be affected, but if you have to file bankruptcy, it probably is not very good any way.

No, you can't get fired for filing for bankruptcy because as what federal law prohibits an employer to discriminate against you for declaring personal bankruptcy.

Yes, it is a violation of your rights, not to mention a crime to fire someone for filing bankruptcy. So, don't worry your job is safe.

Can an employer terminate an employee after they file bankruptcy?

In at will employment states, yes. In these state, an employer can fire an employee who has tuna for lunch instead of ham. They need no reason to fire you. In all states, if you are employed in a position where you handle money, accounts, or are required to maintain a certain level of responsibility, then yes. The bankruptcy demonstrates for the employer that you have a certain level of irresponsibility in your life, and can terminate your employment, especially those employers who obtain a credit report on you prior to your initial higher.
