Bankruptcy Law Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) | Missouri & Illinois Common Bankruptcy Legal Questions

 


Q: I live in Missouri but work in Illinois. Can I file my bankruptcy case in Illinois instead of Missouri?

A: In short, no. The rules that govern where you can file say this: Generally, the proper place to file your case is where you have lived in the 180 days preceding your bankruptcy filing . If you’ve moved within that 6 month time frame, you should file in the place you spent the majority of that 180 days.

Your best move would be to hire an attorney who practices in both St. Louis and Illinois. He or she will know where you can file and help you reap the benefits of a bankruptcy case no matter where your case is filed.
