Wondering if you qualify to completely wipe out your unsecured debts under Chapter 7? 🧮 It all comes down to the California Means Test.
This calculation compares your income to the median income of similar-sized households in Southern California.
🔹 If your income is below the median, you automatically qualify to file Chapter 7.
🔹 If it’s above, a deeper analysis of your mandatory expenses determines your eligibility.
🔹 Even if you don't qualify for Chapter 7, you still have powerful options under Chapter 13.
Because California's cost of living is unique, you need an expert eye to ensure this test is calculated perfectly to your advantage.
