Income of 4 and bankruptcy in Canada

Question: How much can a family of 4 make with going bankrupt in Canada? 2 adults 2 kids

Answer: In Alberta, or anywhere in Canada, a family of four is permitted to have net income each month of $3,474. If your family income exceeds that amount, you have surplus income, and you are required to pay half of your surplus income into your bankruptcy estate.

For example, if the net family income was $3,874, you are $400 over the limit, so that month you would be required to make a surplus income payment of $200.

Your Alberta bankruptcy trustee can provide you with more details.

Bankruptcy Question

My daughter and son-in-law separated June of 2008, she left him and he is living in their marital home, title in both names.
He is now saying that he is going to claim bankruptcy and vacate the home.

He makes approximately $80,000/year, they own the home which is valued at about $130,000 and has a mortgage of approximately $120,000, perhaps a little less. The only other payment he has other than utilities is a vehicle payment. He owns a truck free & clear. They have two children 5 & 6. His child support is approximately $700 per month, house payment approximately $950 and vehicle payment is probably around $500. Can he claim bankruptcy and how can my daughter protect herself i.e. the house. The only debt she has other than her utility payments is rent.

Line of Credit

I have a line of credit which was cosigned. If I declare bankruptcy can any amount outstanding on the line of credit be exempt from the bankruptcy so the bank does not come back on the cosignor? In other words if I can keep paying payments on it will it keep the bank from calling this line from the cosignor?

I have a condo that I can\'t pay its mortgage anymore. Should I stop paying the condo fees as well before and after I file for bankruptcy? And do the payments amount that I would have to pay to the trustee is revisable on a monthly basis depending on change in my salary, or is it determined at the begining of the filing and to be kept constant?

Proposal and Bankruptcy in Alberta

Question: My husband filed a consumer proposal 2 years ago. I chose not to as I felt I could pay these debts. We are now in a situation where we can't meet our monthly obligations, never mind the debts I owe. What is the best plan now? We owe over $46,000 (including proposal). Is anulling the proposal and filing for bankruptcy an option?

Answer: You and your husband have three options.

First, he can continue on with his proposal. You could then file your own consumer proposal, file bankruptcy, or deal with your debts in some other manner.

Alternatively, your husband's proposal could be annulled, and he could file bankruptcy. Your options remain the same.

It is not possible to annul a proposal and then file another one, unless you have the prior permission of the bankruptcy court, so in your case that is not an option.

These are complicated decisions, so we suggest you contact an Alberta bankruptcy trustee to meet with you and review both you and your husband's situation in more detail to determine which option is best for both of you.
