How many payments missed from debtor to trustee before chapter13 is dismissed?

In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, if a debtor misses one or more payments to the trustee as outlined in their repayment plan, the case may be dismissed. Typically, the court may allow a grace period for missed payments, but consistently missing payments can lead to dismissal. The specific number of payments missed before dismissal can vary by jurisdiction and the discretion of the bankruptcy judge, but generally, two or more missed payments can trigger a dismissal. It is essential for debtors to communicate with their trustee if they anticipate payment issues.
