Filing Chapter 7 in Los Angeles
Los Angeles County residents file Chapter 7 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Los Angeles Division (Roybal Federal Building). To file in California, the 730-day domicile rule under 11 U.S.C. §522(b)(3) generally determines which state's exemptions apply — if you have lived in California for at least the prior 730 days, California exemptions govern, and you elect either System 1 (CCP §704) or System 2 (CCP §703); California does not allow the federal §522(d) exemptions (cacb.uscourts.gov; uscourts.gov).
