Generally speaking, you can convert a case one time to any other chapter you're qualified for. The request to convert can be a simple one-sentence document. Look out for issues, such as moving from a Chapter 13 to a Chapter 7, as you'll need to review whether you have acquired items that are now be considered property of the estate under Chapter 7 that weren't part of the previous filing. Ask the trustee or a bankruptcy attorney for additional issues.
