The Initial Court Pleadings
After you’ve gathered and organized all of your financial information, your bankruptcy attorney will begin the process of completing the initial steps involved with filing bankruptcy pleadings. While each chapter in the United States Bankruptcy Code calls for a few different variations in terms of what you’ll need to include in those initial pleadings, the basic pleadings include a petition for protection from the court, schedules of all of your assets and liabilities and a request for the court to accept your filing and to take the appropriate steps in response to it.
