The Automatic Stay in Virginia Bankruptcy
Virginia bankruptcy automatic stay (11 U.S.C. § 362) immediately halts most collection actions, lawsuits, foreclosures, and wage garnishments the moment a bankruptcy is filed.
Chapter 11 Business Reorganization in Virginia
Virginia businesses can use Chapter 11 to reorganize debt while continuing operations. Subchapter V (small-business) streamlines for businesses with debt under ~$7.5M.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in Virginia
Chapter 13 ("reorganization" bankruptcy) lets Virginia debtors keep their assets and repay debts under a 3- or 5-year court-supervised plan. The state's median household income (~$130,000 for a family of 4) controls plan length.

Debt-Collection Defense in Virginia
Virginia consumers facing debt-collection lawsuits have powerful defenses — federal FDCPA, state consumer protection laws, statutes of limitations, and proof requirements that collectors often can't meet.
Debts That Survive Bankruptcy in Virginia
Bankruptcy is federal — but not all debts get discharged. Virginia cases are filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Virginia. Several debt categories survive bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy Means Test in Virginia
Virginia bankruptcy means test compares debtor income to median family income (currently ~$130,000 for a family of 4). Below median = automatic Chapter 7 eligibility.

Virginia student loans CAN be discharged in bankruptcy under the "undue hardship" Brunner test, plus DOJ's 2022 guidance has made it dramatically easier. Other federal options — IDR, PSLF, forgiveness — also relevant.
