    Question Getting a Second Job After Filing Bankruptcy

    My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: WV

    At what point in a bankruptcy case will getting a second job not negatively effect your bankruptcy? Is it ok to start a second job after filing or should I wait until after meeting of creditors?

    Default Re: When is It Safe to Get a Second Job

    Oh how I wish that was the case. Spouse becoming disabled and not able to work has pushed us to this point. I could never work enough at a second job to earn what she did and still be able to be there to help her. Not all people are trying to work the system.

    This question cannot be properly answered since you have failed to identify which chapter bk you filed.

    In a Chapter 7 post petition earnings are not property of the estate therefore a post petition job would be irrelevant unless you were playing games and had the position guaranteed before filing and failed to disclose it.

    In a Chapter 11, 12 or 13 post petition earnings are property of the estate and need to be fully disclosed.

    Please consult with an attny to determine your rights and responsibilities as it relates to your bk.
