Bankruptcy is a process designed to support debtors, lenders, and the economy as a whole. Different systems of bankruptcy have been in place for centuries, and today\u2019s U.S. Bankruptcy Court has several types of bankruptcy chapters established to treat individual and business debts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For individuals filing for bankruptcy, the system provides solutions for the most common causes of their financial struggles. For many individuals, there are three primary sources that push them to the point of filing for bankruptcy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Medical Bills<\/strong>: Because the U.S. doesn\u2019t provide national healthcare coverage, privatized health insurance companies are the only option for the majority of individuals. Because health insurance providers are private companies, they can be very expensive. In addition to this, medical care itself is very costly, from general check-ups to serious surgeries. For those who can\u2019t afford health insurance, it\u2019s nearly impossible to pay for any medical treatments. Several studies show that accumulated medical bills or sudden expenses are the number one cause of bankruptcy in the U.S.<\/li>\n
  2. Unemployment<\/strong>: While the government provides support for the unemployed via unemployment compensation, it\u2019s often not quite enough to make ends meet. Long-term unemployment will almost certainly create a situation of severe debt, especially if the individual has mortgages, credit card debt, or car loans to repay. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is designed to help those without a steady income resolve debts that they cannot pay while unemployed.<\/li>\n
  3. Divorce<\/strong>: The combination of legal fees, emotional turmoil, increases in living expenses, and a decrease in income as a result of divorce can all create a situation of financial struggle. The cost of divorce is high just in terms of court fees and legal representation, often meeting a minimum of $2,500. In addition, you lose the income of your ex-spouse, and your living expenses may actually increase. All of this makes divorce a main cause of bankruptcy, especially if the couple was facing financial struggles prior to the split.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n
