1. Discharges And QDROs
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: QDRO:  That nasty Qualified Domestic Relations Order that divvies-up a pension after a divorce. Bankruptcy:  That other nasty procedure that may, or may not, get rid of all your debts. Okay, listen up.  No bankruptcy can get rid of a family support order.  Chapter 7 cannot discharge a property division ordered by a divorce court, but Chapter [...]


2. It’s Not Nice To Fool Your Bankruptcy Attorney!

Description: Back in the 1970’s there was a margarine sold under the brand name Chiffon.  (Or so I’ve been told.  The ’70’s were a little before my time). According to the commercials, the margarine tasted so much like butter that it fooled Mother Nature.  (Ok, I was around for the ’70’s, but I just don’t remember that much about them!  [...]


3. Why Does My Lawyer Want Something Useless?
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: Bankruptcy law used to make sense.  Then Congress and the previous Administration intervened and decided it needed to make a little less sense. One of the ways it doesn’t make sense is in some of the paperwork we have to ask you to give us, as your lawyer. For example, I spoke to an elderly woman living [...]


4. How to file bankruptcy #9 of a series – Allowances

Description: So we’re still looking at that creation of Congress – lovingly known as form B22A. Once we calculate your “current monthly income” and we compare it to the “applicable median income”, we know whether your chapter 7 case is presumed abusive. You can overcome the presumption of abuse if you have enough expenses to leave you with [...]


5. How to file bankruptcy – #8 in a series – “Applicable Median Family Income”
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: So how do you figure out if your “current monthly income” – the average income you have for the past six months is above or below the median income for a family your size.  Well, like so many other things in life, our government has told us what this means.  Here’s a table directly from [...]


6. I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY! What Is Really Involved?
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: I DECLARE . . . BANKRUPTCY!  So said Michael Scott in the sitcom television show “The Office.”  [For video, click here I declare bankruptcy! ]  With that, he was absolved of his debts. As we know and as Michael’s co-workers know but apparently Michael did not know, there is more to it than that.  So what [...]


7. How to file bankruptcy – #7 of a series – What’s income for the means test?
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: Most people find the Means Test a pain the butt.  I do.  One thing clients don’t understand is why their spouse’s income matters even if their spouse isn’t filing a bankruptcy case.  That’s because Congress says it matters. If you are receiving support in your household from your spouse, then you’re supposed to have that much [...]


8. UNBUNDLED LEGAL SERVICES IN BANKRUPTCY – PART ONE
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: This introduces a series on what can be called unbundled law. Others call it an à la carte approach to offering legal services to individuals. The main difference with this approach is that a client represents herself for some portion of her participation in a legal matter rather than having an attorney represent her for [...]


9. Can’t make Chapter 13 bankruptcy payment?
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: When you can’t make the payments on a confirmed Chapter 13 plan, there are hard choices to make.  There are several alternatives that we’ll explore over the next week.   My usual favorite option, however, is a hardship discharge under §1328(b). A bankruptcy discharge under §1328(b) wipes out all the debt that would have been [...]


10. How to file bankruptcy – number 6 of a series – the Means Test
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb)

Description: Every individual who files a bankruptcy case must file a means test form.  It doesn’t even matter if you are exempt from the means test, you still have to fill out the form.  It’s complicated.  (I thought that was only for relationships on Facebook – maybe not).  Why?  You have to prove to the satisfaction of [...]
