How Often Can You File Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Missouri?

In Missouri, you can file a second Chapter 7 bankruptcy case eight years after you filed the first case. The time clock starts when you filed your previous Chapter 7 bankruptcy, not from the discharge date. There is no limit to how many times you can file for bankruptcy, but there are time limits between filing dates. The U.S. Bankruptcy Code defines the time limits established on what Chapter you file under.
