STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL AFFAIRS
This statement is to be completed by every debtor. Spouses filing a joint petition may file a single statement on which
the information for both spouses is combined. If the case is filed under chapter 12 or chapter 13, a married debtor must furnish
information for both spouses whether or not a joint petition is filed, unless the spouses are separated and a joint petition is not
filed. An individual debtor engaged in business as a sole proprietor, partner, family farmer, or self-employed professional,
should provide the information requested on this statement concerning all such activities as well as the individual’s personal
affairs. To indicate payments, transfers and the like to minor children, state the child’s initials and the name and address of the
child’s parent or guardian, such as “A.B., a minor child, by John Doe, guardian.” Do not disclose the child’s name. See, 11 U.S.C.
§112 and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1007(m).
Questions 1 – 18 are to be completed by all debtors. Debtors that are or have been in business, as defined below, also
must complete Questions 19 – 25. If the answer to an applicable question is “None,” mark the box labeled “None.” If
additional space is needed for the answer to any question, use and attach a separate sheet properly identified with the case name,
case number (if known), and the number of the question.
DEFINITIONS

individual debtor is “in business” for the purpose of this form if the debtor is or has been, within six years immediately preceding

of the voting or equity securities of a corporation; a partner, other than a limited partner, of a partnership; a sole proprietor or
self-employed full-time or part-time. An individual debtor also may be “in business” for the purpose of this form if the debtor
engages in a trade, business, or other activity, other than as an employee, to supplement income from the debtor’s primary
employment.
“Insider.” The term “insider” includes but is not limited to: relatives of the debtor; general partners of the debtor and
their relatives; corporations of which the debtor is an officer, director, or person in control; officers, directors, and any owner of
5 percent or more of the voting or equity securities of a corporate debtor and their relatives; affiliates of the debtor and insiders
