Filing Chapter 7 in San Diego
San Diego and Imperial County residents file Chapter 7 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California (Jacob Weinberger U.S. Courthouse). Which state's exemptions apply is set by the 730-day domicile rule under 11 U.S.C. §522(b)(3); a debtor domiciled in California for the prior 730 days uses California exemptions and elects System 1 (CCP §704) or System 2 (CCP §703) — California opts out of the federal §522(d) set (casb.uscourts.gov; uscourts.gov).
