Financial Education is part 7 of a 10 part series on Chapter 7 bankruptcy and will provide general information regarding bankruptcy under Chapter 7. 

Individual debtors are required to take a course in financial education subsequent to filing and prior to discharge. The discharge order will not be issued without a completion certificate on file with the Court. A list of approved financial management courses may be found on the court’s web site.
