Will Rick succeed in filing for bankruptcy after all this?

We all know Rick intends to file for bankruptcy as soon as this is over to get out of paying Quasi/the SFWA. I'm not an expert on this so maybe someone can help me out, but don't you need a judge to analyze your finances and approve your bankruptcy? As far as I know, you can't just throw your hands up and say "Welp! Too bad, I can't pay you back. Sorry!" Otherwise people would just take out loans to do shit, then when the bills come just declare bankruptcy.

Maybe he's deliberately putting all this extra shit (vacations/furniture/phones/etc) onto his credit card for the purpose of digging as deep a hole as he possibly can so that they'll approve it?

I'm assuming his plan is suicide ("Then everyone will be sorry! And I'll be laughing, laughing! In the afterlife I don't believe in!"). He'll put that sci-fi pop gun from the Space Gate show in his mouth, wrap one of his awful prehensile toes around the trigger and pull it; only to discover that it's distressingly non-lethal even fired in repeated, agonising bursts.

Having removed his tonsils and larynx, he'll go on a speaking tour of sci conventions, pressing play on his laptop so that a knockoff of Stephen Hawking's voice box (and it's got to be Hawking's, obviously) can read out an interminable speech about his heroic battle against The Nazis. Sooner or later someone will ask him in the Q&A section why he's never visited his daughter, and how it felt missing all of those birthdays and graduations, and we'll get to see him furiously two-finger-typing out a response, red-faced and spluttering fluid out through his tracheotomy port. He won't notice that it's his daughter who's asking; and she'll be too decent to point it out.

Later, alone in his hotel room, he'll try to drown his sorrows in cheap scotch, only to have it run out through the holes in the back of his neck and dampen his generic sci fi shirt.

Far, far better than anything Fat Pat ever wrote.

It's all done with bankruptcy lawyer you hire they get all debts in order, my dopey ex did this twenty years ago, you can file for bankruptcy for 1k, its federal so it doesn't vary by state, some things you can't discharge like school loans,child support, they changed things in past ten years or so, i read someplace before you got rid of all debt but with new rules you have to pay some back, the hearing pretty much judge asks couple questions then they sign off on it, one thing i do remember with her is they look look when debt was created within six months because of people doing just that running up debt *not a bankruptcy lawyer just a internet shitdick

That's actually not a terrible theory.
