Salary Increase in Chapter 13

[Kevinh]

Hello Im new to the boards.I live in Ohio and I have about 6 months left to go in a 3 year chapter 13 and am paying back 70%. I took a new position at my job that will take my salary from 52000 to 68000 a year. My Bankruptcy was filed on 52000 a year. Will my plan need to be modified? If so will I also be able to modify my Schedule J. New job is management and requires more dressy clothes. Will I be able to adjust my clothing budget? Also had some major medical increases a month that I would like to add. Everything is so tight now I just don't want the last 6 months to be any tighter. Starting to wonder if I should have taken the job. Have a call into my lawyer but he is on vacation. So hopefully I can get an answer here. Thanks

Just wait on your lawyers response.

Of course you should have taken the job - your 13 is over in 6 months... you can make it and will be on solid ground with a good income soon!
