Learn to prepare Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 petitions for Wisconsin attorneys — with the state’s own exemptions, means-test figures, and both federal district courts taught directly, not glossed over. Earn the CPDS credential and work remotely from anywhere in Wisconsin.
The forms are national. What a debtor keeps, whether they qualify, and where the case is filed all change at the Wisconsin state line. A generic national course leaves those gaps for you to figure out. We teach them directly.
What property a Wisconsin debtor keeps under Wis. Stat. §§ 815.18 & 815.20. Wisconsin is a “choice” state — learn how to weigh the state set against the federal exemptions on every Schedule C.
The test is federal; the numbers are Wisconsin’s. Learn where to pull the current Wisconsin median-income figures and how to apply them correctly for every case.
Wisconsin has two federal districts. Learn how to determine which one a case is filed in, plus each court’s local rules, plan practice, and creditor-matrix formatting.
Every VBA Academy student gets the same federal core and CPDS credential. Wisconsin students also get the Wisconsin-specific modules and reference materials.
