How 11 U.S.C. § 109(g) applies in North Dakota — federal bankruptcy law, North Dakota district data.
If your prior bankruptcy was dismissed within the last 180 days for willful failure to appear or abide by court orders, or if you voluntarily dismissed after a motion for relief from stay, you cannot refile. This is a 180-day window — measured from the dismissal date, not the original filing date.

The rules above are federal — they apply identically in every state. What varies by state is exemptions (§522), median income thresholds (means test), and case-law interpretations of ambiguous terms. For a North Dakota-specific answer, check the screener or consult a local attorney.
