How many times can you file for bankruptcy of any type in a lifetime?

Answer

There is no legal limit to number of filings over a lifetime. However, the U.S. Trustee, a division of the U.S. Department of Justice, moniters serial filings and can object to a case if they think the multiple filings constitute an abuse of the Bankruptcy Code.
