Bankruptcy Law in Michigan: What You Need to Know
Michigan Bankruptcy Court and Filing Resources
Michigan bankruptcy cases are handled in two federal bankruptcy court districts: Eastern and Western. The district and divisional office depend on where a person lives, so confirm the appropriate court before filing. Court staff may provide procedural information but cannot give legal advice.
Official Michigan bankruptcy court resources by district
- Eastern District of Michigan: filing without an attorney, forms and fees, and the fee schedule. The court requires approved credit counseling before filing, links official and local forms, and provides a pro se electronic document-upload option as an alternative to mailing or delivering documents.
- Western District of Michigan: debtor guidance, official and local forms, court fees, and online payment information. The payment program is limited to individual Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases pending in the Western District's listed locations.
The Western District discontinued its Electronic Self-Representation system effective February 18, 2025. Individuals considering self-representation should confirm current filing procedures with the appropriate court and review the federal U.S. Courts guidance on filing without an attorney.
These resources provide procedural information, not legal advice. A qualified Michigan bankruptcy attorney can explain how the relevant federal district process and Michigan law may apply to an individual's income, debts, property, and goals.
