Filing Chapter 7 in Fresno
Fresno County residents file Chapter 7 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California, Fresno Division (Robert E. Coyle U.S. Courthouse). The 730-day domicile rule under 11 U.S.C. §522(b)(3) determines which state's exemptions apply; a debtor domiciled in California for the prior 730 days uses California exemptions and elects System 1 (CCP §704) or System 2 (CCP §703) — the federal §522(d) exemptions are unavailable in California (caeb.uscourts.gov; uscourts.gov).
