Maryland Bankruptcy guides

All law guides →

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

The Automatic Stay in Maryland Bankruptcy

Maryland 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 Maryland

Maryland 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 Maryland

Chapter 13 ("reorganization" bankruptcy) lets Maryland debtors keep their assets and repay debts under a 3- or 5-year court-supervised plan. The state's median household income (~$144,000 for a family of 4) controls plan length.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Maryland: Exemptions and Eligibility

Maryland bankruptcy uses only state exemptions (federal not allowed). Homestead: $25,150 (or $50,300 married joint).

Debt-Collection Defense in Maryland

Maryland 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 Maryland

Bankruptcy is federal — but not all debts get discharged. Maryland cases are filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland. Several debt categories survive bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy Means Test in Maryland

Maryland bankruptcy means test compares debtor income to median family income (currently ~$144,000 for a family of 4). Below median = automatic Chapter 7 eligibility.

Student-Loan Discharge in Bankruptcy in Maryland

Maryland 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.

Wage Garnishment Defense in Maryland

Maryland wage garnishment is capped at federal limits (25% of disposable income or 30× minimum wage) — and Texas, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina ban most consumer wage garnishment entirely.
