How much debt should you have to file?

I have acquired a bit of debt the last few years. Life expenses, a leased vehicle, different life debts a baby, loss of work etc. I do not own a house yet. I have 3 children and just want to start over. But I have been toldits's just not enough debt tfor the hassle.I am on the fence about filing now and just want to know what amount does everyone consider bankruptcy being a good option?
