what is the average time to recieve chapter 7 discharge in mo

Prior to filing for bankruptcy, the amount of time to prepare the paperwork will vary depending on just how comples your specific case is.Once you have filed a Chapter 7, you will probably receive your discharge in about 3 1/2 - 4 months.  After you file, you will attend a meeting of creditors in about 4 - 6 weeks where you will answer questions by the bankruptcy trustee (and possibly creditors). You are eligible to receive a discharge 60 days thereafter (unless one of your creditors raises an objection to your discharge).

Here's a link to a site that will explain about a Chapter 7 more fully: http://www.uscourts.gov/bankruptcycourts/bankruptcybasics/chapter7.html

Best of luck.
