Another MD question - how many copies?

[bohogirl]

Does anyone know how many copies of BK docs do I need to file with the court - just one or more?
I called the court earlier and asked a few other questions, but my phone minutes ran out before I could ask that last one :-(
Thank you in advance and apologies if I'm asking a stupid question

To add to 'Hub's post. When filing manually, it is best to take your paperwork to the courthouse in person.

You are also assigned your case number at this point.

Good luck to you!
