Official Form 101

Voluntary Petition for Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy

The bankruptcy forms use you and Debtor 1 to refer to a debtor filing alone. A married couple may file a bankruptcy case together—called a

joint case —and in joint cases, these forms use you to ask for information from both debtors. For example, if a form asks, "Do you own a car, "the answer

would be yes if either debtor owns a car. When information is needed about the spouses separately, the form uses Debtor 1 and Debtor 2 to distinguish

between them. In joint cases, one of the spouses must report information as Debtor 1 and the other as Debtor 2. The same person must be Debtor 1 in all of

the forms.

Be as complete and accurate as possible. If two married people are filing together, both are equally responsible for supplying correct information. If more

space is needed, attach a separate sheet to this form. On the top of any additional pages, write your name and case number (if known). Answer every question.

pay with cash, cashier's check, or money order... If your attorney is submitting your payment on your

behalf, your attorney may pay with a credit card or check with a pre-printed address.

I need to pay the fee in installments. If you choose this option, sign and attach the Application for

Individuals to Pay Your Filing Fee in Installments (Official Form 103A).

I request that my fee be waived (You may request this option only if you are filing for Chapter 7. By

150% of the official poverty line that applies to your family size and you are unable to pay the fee in

installments). If you choose this option, you must fill out the Application to Have the Chapter 7 Filing

Fee Waived (Official Form 103B) and file it with your petition.
