Can I retire while in Chapter 13?
Question Details:
Just filed a Chapter 13and now my employer is talking about laying off all union positions and sourcing them out. I'm eligible to retire with 33 years. Can I retire and how will it effect my bankruptcy? Can it be converted to a Chapter 7?

You should review your current situation with the attorney who helped prepare your chapter 13 plan. Converting to a chapter 7 typically happens when you can no longer meet the requirements of a chapter 13 plan (job loss etc). You should be cautioned though that you may not be able to protect assets under a Chapter 7 plan that you are able to keep under a Chapter 13 plan.
