Qualifying for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: The Story of Toni Braxton

In October 2010, six-time Grammy Award winner Toni Braxton filed for bankruptcy a second time. In her Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition, Braxton claimed debts of between $10 million and $50 million, which grew even worse when a heart condition – diagnosed as microvascular angina – forced her to cancel a series of Las Vegas shows in 2008.

The United States Trustee, after reviewing her petition, filed a document in Bankruptcy Court asserting that Braxtons filing is presumed to be an abuse of the bankruptcy process because she did not file paperwork showing the results of the required means test.

Matson, Trustee of the LandAmerica Financial Group, Incorporated Liquidated [sic] Trust vs. Alarcon et al.), the Fourth Circuit determined that Judge Huennekens was correct in finding that the claims of 125 former employees of LandAmerica Financial Group for unpaid benefits due pursuant to a Severance Benefits Plan were earned on the date that the employees had their employment terminated and, therefore, the entire amount of the severance benefits were entitled to priority pursuant to section 507(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code (up to the statutory cap).

When considering the very difficult option of bankruptcy, one of the first decisions to make is whether to file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. Although the rules differ from state to state, the basic differences between the two are the same everywhere, as filing always takes place in Federal Bankruptcy Court.

A little Internet research will give you the basic rules in your state, but in general, there are two major categories of bankruptcy: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. The former is the more traditional type, usually referred to as “liquid” or “straight” bankruptcy. Filing for this ensures that all debts, except child support, student loans, alimony and taxes are forgiven.

One of the most common reasons for selecting this option is losing long-term employment. In the current economy, someone who has recently lost a job often struggles to obtain a comparable job and turns to credit cards and savings to pay bills – which leaves someone with little to no options.
