I thought even though I file on my own we use total house hold income and expence when figuring DMI.
When you file Ch 13 alone without your legal spouse, both of your incomes, assets, and expenses are added into the first part of the Means Test. Then in a later section, any of your wife's income that is not used to support the househild, her assets, and expenses that are hers alone are deducted back out. That's why a car that she alone buys won't help you reduce your disposable income when you file.
Momofthree is right. You really need to discuss this car purchase with your lawyer before doing anything.
