Yikes...I'm getting really worried about this...

I cashed in a small pension fund to help pay bills and ended up putting several thousand to pay down my husband's credit card (unbeknownst to him). I knew that this could possibly be looked at like a preferential payment so am waiting the 90 days to file. Now, from another post I've read below, it looks like it could be construed as a payment to family, in which case the wait is a year.

What are the odds that the trustee will make my husband pay this money back? If he wants it, can't my husband just cough up the money somehow or it will be an actual lawsuit?

I wasn't thinking the trustee would ask for anything more than what my attorney asked for, and she didn't ask for bank statements at all.

Trustees can and often do ask for some bank statements.

Your pension funds most likely would have been exempt but many make that mistake.

They would not go after your husband they would go after the creditor who was paid.
