Handling a Chapter 7 Case

The Intersection of Bankruptcy and Family Law

From pre-fi ling considerations to bankruptcy discharge and beyond, this topic will discuss the intersection of family law matters in bankruptcy and include such topics as treatment of equitable distribution claims in bankruptcy, the application of the automatic stay and automatic stay violations, exemptions and dischargeability.

Chapter 13 for the Higher Income/Higher Indebted Debtor

Given the fact that the debt limits in Chapter 13 are now $383,175 for unsecured debt and $1,149,525 for secured debt, it is inevitable that debtors will include individuals with signifi cant assets, liabilities and income. These debtors will have issues that are not garden variety in relation to what has been typical in the Chapter 13 practice in earlier times. Valuable homes, luxury cars and private schools are issues that we should be ready to address with the Trustee, creditors and Court in these cases.

Avoidance Actions in Commercial Bankruptcy

Hear the latest on courts’ reactions to the Supreme Court’s decision in Bellingham regarding consent and how Stern will be interpreted in the aftermath. Also, fi nd out the latest on the Ponzi scheme presumption and the § 548(c) good faith defense to fraudulent transfers
