The Automatic Stay in Wisconsin Bankruptcy
Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin
Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin
Chapter 13 ("reorganization" bankruptcy) lets Wisconsin debtors keep their assets and repay debts under a 3- or 5-year court-supervised plan. The state's median household income (~$110,000 for a family of 4) controls plan length.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Wisconsin: Exemptions and Eligibility
Wisconsin bankruptcy uses EITHER state OR federal exemptions. Homestead: $75,000 ($150,000 married joint).
Debt-Collection Defense in Wisconsin
Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin
Bankruptcy is federal — but not all debts get discharged. Wisconsin cases are filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Wisconsin. Several debt categories survive bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy Means Test in Wisconsin
Wisconsin bankruptcy means test compares debtor income to median family income (currently ~$110,000 for a family of 4). Below median = automatic Chapter 7 eligibility.
Student-Loan Discharge in Bankruptcy in Wisconsin
Wisconsin 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.
