If alimony is exempt

[denisejohn65]

We filed my papers already....waiting to hear from lawyer cuz my alimony is listed as 1200.00 when it should have been 1300.00....my mistake. Does this even matter if it is exempt???? Do we need to fix this. My monthly income is down to 1747.00 since I lost my job. He said that didn't matter last week.My small retirement from my x went up 22.00 from 425.00 on paper to 447.00...please does this matter??? It's killing me waiting on the Lawyer to call me back.....I could not sleep last night.

Don't worry about these small amounts. If it requires an amendment, your Attorney will make the amendment. He may wait until the 341 Meeting to do so, but that's up to him and how he feels. These are not significant amounts.

I'm pretty sick about this today......I posted something about those credit coun classes on here.This info sheet on BK my Lawyer gave me said about the first class must be pd for by the person. I paid for the first one......the 2nd one my bf paid for .......does this matter....and it does not say the 2nd one had to be paid by me.....is this stupid to ask the Lawyer........?????

When they say paid for by debtor, that just means that the cost is not included in your attorney fees, or the filing fees. You don't need to worry about who paid for it, so long as you took the course.

Your attorney will only contact you if the Trustee needs something. Otherwise, you just plan to attend the 341 Meeting on 7/20/2009.

Justbroke......does this change my expenses page? I'm minus 6.02 now.....I lost my job prior to filing...but that is not on the papers.That I lost my job. If this alimony is exempt...does it matter?? I'm afraid I will be left with money over instead of minus....Please answer!!! No call from Lawyer yet.

[denisejohn65]

I don't know if it even matters cuz I lost my job prior to filing. I lost my job end of May and he filed everything June 12th and I called up there and told them I lost my job and they said didn't matter???It was fine....OMGOSH.....maybe I should go see the Lawyer wednesday

[denisejohn65]

Please get back to me if you can soon....thank you so very much!!!

I don't think anything matters unless your attorney says he wants to change things, or, after/at your 341 Meeting, the Trustee wants it updated.

[denisejohn65]

My lawyer keeps saying my alimony is exempt....but it is not on my schedule c property claimed as exempt nor is the retirement.......I think I'm going to have trouble at the 341....I hope he don't mess up things for me....

Why wouldn't you believe him? Alimony gets treated just like income I would imagine. Alimony isn't property... I assume it got calculated into your income numbers right?

[denisejohn65]

yes...it looks that way.

[denisejohn65]

If I moved in with bf just before filing. You know the sheet that lists all your living expenses? I'm not paying a lot of those now and with the loss of job and just living on the alimony and retirement. How does all this play out for me??

Take a deep breath and relax. You hired an attorney to handle these issues.

Enjoy your holiday weekend with a nice cool Yuengling!

Just feeling a little "DebtMonsterey" this morning!
