Another year comes to an end. It was a busy year for bankruptcy.
Not so much for people filing bankruptcy, but certainly for accessing bankruptcy information.
Below are the most visited posts from my bankruptcy blog in 2014*:

10. How To Determine Which Debts Are Discharged in Your Bankruptcy Case
When you receive your “discharge” there is nothing the court issues which lists which debts are discharged. How do you know which debts you no longer have to pay?
Hint: Ask your attorney
9. How Long In Between Bankruptcy Filings?
This article answers the oft asked question about how many times you can file bankruptcy, and how long you have to wait after filing a prior case.
8. Does The Means Test Use Gross or Net Income? 
I was somewhat surprised this one made the top 10, but there must be a lot of “do-it-yourselfers” out there trying to perform surgery on themselves. In any event, this article attempts to explain a bit about the numbers used in the means test calculations.
7. Dangers of Low Cost-Inexpensive Bankruptcy Attorneys
What are the real costs and risks of hiring a cheap bankruptcy attorney? Discussion of why cost should not be your only, or even primary, criteria in selecting a lawyer.

Is there a minimum amount of debt you need in order to file a bankruptcy case?
Many think so.
4. Removing Judgment Liens In Bankruptcy
Can you discharge and remove judgment liens in bankruptcy and, if so, what are the requirements?
Discussion of what a lien is and what it does.
3. What Happens To Mortgage Liens In Bankruptcy?
Do you still have to pay on your mortgage after you get a bankruptcy discharge? What happens if you don’t?
2. Filing Taxes After Bankruptcy: Are Forgiven Debts Taxable?
Apparently a super-common question, and one that’s very important. You need to know whether and to what extent debts forgiven in bankruptcy can affect your taxes.
1. What Happens To Assets in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
The number 1 viewed article this year deals with how long a Trustee in a Chapter 7 can continue to pursue/collect assets of the debtor.
It is an important lesson for properly listing and exempting assets you want protected.
