Voluntary Petition for Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy

12/15

The bankruptcy forms use you and Debtor 1 to refer to a debtor filing alone. A married couple may file a bankruptcy case together—called a joint
case—and in joint cases, these forms use you to ask for information from both debtors. For example, if a form asks, “Do you own a car,” the answer
would be yes if either debtor owns a car. When information is needed about the spouses separately, the form uses Debtor 1 and Debtor 2 to distinguish
between them. In joint cases, one of the spouses must report information as Debtor 1 and the other as Debtor 2. The same person must be Debtor 1 in
all of the forms.
Be as complete and accurate as possible. If two married people are filing together, both are equally responsible for supplying correct information. If
more space is needed, attach a separate sheet to this form. On the top of any additional pages, write your name and case number (if known). Answer
every question.

How you will pay the fee

I will pay the entire fee when I file my petition. Please check with the clerk’s office in your local court for more details
about how you may pay. Typically, if you are paying the fee yourself, you may pay with cash, cashier’s check, or money
order. If your attorney is submitting your payment on your behalf, your attorney may pay with a credit card or check with
a pre-printed address.
I need to pay the fee in installments. If you choose this option, sign and attach the Application for Individuals to Pay
The Filing Fee in Installments (Official Form 103A).
I request that my fee be waived (You may request this option only if you are filing for Chapter 7. By law, a judge may,
but is not required to, waive your fee, and may do so only if your income is less than 150% of the official poverty line that
applies to your family size and you are unable to pay the fee in installments). If you choose this option, you must fill out
the Application to Have the Chapter 7 Filing Fee Waived (Official Form 103B) and file it with your petition.
