MADISON, Miss. - s4story -- Saxton Law, PLLC has released a new academic blog article examining significant developments in United States consumer bankruptcy law during 2025, including rising filing trends, increased exemption limits, and important amendments to the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.

The article, titled "Consumer Bankruptcy in 2025: Legal Developments, Filing Trends, and Rule Changes," provides a data-driven overview of how economic pressures and statutory changes affected individual bankruptcy filers nationwide. Drawing on federal court data, judiciary rulemaking, and authoritative legal sources, the publication is designed to serve both legal professionals and consumers seeking clarity on evolving bankruptcy law.

According to publicly available court data analyzed in the article, consumer bankruptcy filings increased markedly in 2025, reflecting sustained household debt burdens, inflationary pressures, and resumed federal student loan repayment obligations. The article also highlights the April 1, 2025 inflation-adjusted increases to Bankruptcy Code dollar amounts, which expanded exemption protections and altered Chapter 13 debt eligibility thresholds.
