Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Florida

Future income is rarely an issue in a Chapter 7, which is a "snapshot" of your situation on the date you file. Wages you earn after you file are yours to keep.

You should file before you accept and take the job. There is a Schedule in which you are asked to describe "expected changes to income", but I have never seen that used to keep anyone out of a Chapter 7 if they qualify for 7 under the "means test". If you have not yet accepted the job, it's even more difficult to see how the "possibility" of future income at a job you have not accepted can be used as the basis of an argument that you should not be in Chapter 7.

Once you pass the "means test", which you say you will, then it is extremely unlikely that you would ever be forced into a Chapter 13 case. Even if you were, you could get out of the 13 and the bankruptcy altogether by not making the Chapter 13 payments.

An experienced bankruptcy attorney can explain this too you quite easily.

Good Luck

Future income is rarely considered especially since you have not accepted the job, however, you should file right away.
