Bankruptcy is a legal process that many individuals and businesses turn to when they are facing overwhelming financial difficulties and are unable to meet their debt obligations. Bankruptcy provides a structured way to address these financial challenges and potentially obtain relief from debt.

There are different types of bankruptcy, including Chapter 7, Chapter 13, and Chapter 11, each with its own set of rules and requirements. Chapter 7 typically involves the liquidation of assets to pay off debts, while Chapter 13 allows individuals to create a repayment plan to gradually pay off their debts over time. Chapter 11 is primarily used by businesses to reorganize and continue operations while repaying creditors.
