Court Services - Bankruptcy

The Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller does not handle bankruptcy cases.

Bankruptcy cases may be filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court. Each of the 94 federal judicial districts handles bankruptcy matters, and in almost all districts, bankruptcy cases are filed in the bankruptcy court. Bankruptcy cases cannot be filed in state court. Bankruptcy laws help people who can no longer pay their creditors get a fresh start by liquidating their assets to pay their debts, or by creating a repayment plan.
