Can my wife file for bankruptcy without using my income for the means test if we live in different households?

Susan Green Taylor
Answered by attorney Susan Green Taylor (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Susan G. Taylor
I had clients who had long been separated & had disparate incomes. His contribution to her household was noted, but their incomes were not combined for means test purposes. However, if your intent is to someday reunite, I think you would get push back from your U.S. Trustee's office.

What will happen to my 20 foot trailer if I filed chapter 7?

Max L Rosenberg
Answered by attorney Max L Rosenberg
Bankruptcy lawyer at Rosenberg Hite, LLC
You will have to list it as an asset. Use the value that you recently purchased it for as the value that it is worth minus whatever depreciation there is. And attach a security lien for how much you owe on it which will limit the equity. Use state or federal exemptions to cover the rest of the equity if possible. If you're trying to do this without an attorney you are very foolish. Do not file bankruptcy or manage bankruptcy without an experienced bankruptcy attorney.

One of my creditors has sent one of my accounts

Mark J Markus
Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
Don't take legal advice from your creditors.   That's rule #1.   If you file a bankruptcy case and receive a discharge, the discharge will include all debts that you owed on the date your bankruptcy case is filed.  So, if you incurred the debt you mentioned in May 2013 and file your Chapter 13 after that, the debt should be discharged unless it falls into one of the types of debts excepted from discharge. These exceptions include debts incurred through fraud, domestic support obligations, certain taxes and others.   As a final thought, if your lawyer is too busy to answer your questions, you may have picked the wrong attorney. Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.
