Q: Is it standard to only have to file 60 days of pay statements with your chapter 7 BK petition?
I've been reading that you may have to file bank statements, tax returns, etc. I was only told that I needed to file the 60 days of pay statements for my wife and I with the petition and so I did.
A: It varies from district to district. If they require more, they will let you know.
A: You will be contacted and advised what you will need to provide. Pay close attention and be sure to get the documents requested as soon as possible.
A: The code requires that 60 days of pay advices be filed or provided, however it is not uncommon for additional pay advices to be requested - especially when you consider your means test looks at the previous 6 months of income.
