Our attorney is not particulary helpful so I thought I would get some opinions here:
We came out slightly above means test for Chap 7, but DMI ends up at a negative $78, if they allow the $365/month for an apartment lease we signed for our daughter for living at school. (she is trying to find money to continue college) if no, at $287 DMI / mo we obviously are at Chap 13.
Filing for Chap 7 and keep our house. We are upside down on mortgage about $10000. and house payment is $1333 the payment is only set for 2 years then it would move to adjustable. Even if we complete a Chap 7 and discharge I am unsure if we could maintain the house payment for long term.
If we move ahead with a Chap 7 and surrender the house again that would force us to a Chap 13 with more like
We have $81000 unsecured debt, owe $135,000 on the house. We also co-signed student loans (around $80,000) which will start to come due 2010. Since neither of the kids have finished school (21 year old twins) and only minimum wage jobs now they are going to be hardpressed to come up with enough money to make the payments on the loans, which obligates us.
Will UST take into account the student loan payments we will have to start paying?
I am scared to death that UST will make us pay a very large monthly payment in a Chap 13 as I see people on this forum making...any ballpark ideas on what a Chap 13 monthly payment would be on above.
I know this is not legal advice just looking to see some others thoughts. Thanks.
