Missouri Bankruptcy Court

United States Bankruptcy Courts

Each of the 94 federal judicial districts handles bankruptcy matters and in almost all districts, bankruptcy cases are filed in the bankruptcy court but cannot be filled in state courts

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.

Bankruptcy laws also protect troubled businesses and provide for orderly distributions to business creditors through reorganization or liquidation.

These procedures are covered under Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code). The vast majority of cases are filed under the three main chapters of the Bankruptcy Code, which are Chapter 7, Chapter 11, and Chapter 13 (Information form the United States Bankruptcy Courts)
