Chapter 7 income question

[Manolo]

I am highly concerned over the file of my Chapter 7.

I have been procrastinating and putting this off for months and am making more money now that i was when I origianlly saw attorney.

How is income figured in Indiana on a Chapter 7? Is it just the last 6 months? Is it year to date? Or exactly how is it figured?

And I had to cash in a life insurance policy (big reason for hold up because I have to spend money). Does this count as income as well? Because it was for over 4k.

I am single as well and last I reead the limit was 41K and some change I beleive.

Trustee just looks at bank statement and paystubs for income?

I need to get this filed as soon as possible.

It is past six months for the means test, and they have a broad idea of what constitutes income. I am afraid that I don't know for sure if cashing in an insurance policy counts, but it certainly may.

Its the six full months before the filing date. If you file tomorrow, Dec 21, 2009 then the income is your total gross income from June 1 2009 thru Nov 30 2009. Income is a broad measure as the previous poster indicated.
