The Flowchart to a Fresh Start · Our clickable flowchart gives a step by step outline of the route to getting a discharge of debt under the Bankruptcy Code as amended by The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005.  Detailed information and links to the Bankruptcy Code can be accessed by clicking on the flowchart.

Flowchart Notes · Instead on clicking on the flowchart to view each topic, you may review all the notes from the flowchart on one page.

Official Bankruptcy Forms · The United States Bankruptcy Court provides the official forms for filing bankruptcy.  While in our opinion it is not advisable for anyone to file for bankruptcy protection without competent legal advise, a review of these forms will give an indication of the kind of information which a debtor will need to file. [The forms are in Adobe PDF format.]

Some documents are in Adobe PDF format and require a reader to be loaded.  You may obtain the Adobe Acrobat Reader free by clicking on the image at the right.  

Note:  When printing from the Acrobat Reader, do not select "Print" from the Internet Explorer menu bar.  That will give you a blank page!  Use the printer icon in the Acrobat menu bar which appears below the Explorer bar.
