A: If there are no assets for the trustee to administer a chapter 7 usually takes about 4 months. Talk with a lawyer near you to see if bankruptcy is a good option in your situation. Hope it works out. Good luck!

A: A typical no asset chapter 7 lasts 4-5 months. If the case it an asset case it can last over a year. The majority of cases are no asset cases. I suggest calling a local experienced bankruptcy attorney to discuss your debts, income and assets. Good luck.
