Our attny's payment wasn't even included in our bills during discussions.Filed Ch 7 - 09/06

Part of the bk petition is a disclosure of the attorney fees. The attorney has to state how much they were paid and if they are planning on sharing the money with anybody.
Plus, I don't see any reason why you cannot show them receipts.Chapter 13 Filed 4/03/06 :blink: 341 Meeting Complete 5/11/06 :yes2:

If you work out a payment plan with the lawyer, can't you included that on your expense schedule?*** THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE--ONLY A LAWYER CAN PROVIDE THAT. ***

Not sure about this, unless its in a Chapter 13, and yes it would be an expense..... but allowed on the expense schedule..............????????????????????
Maybe someone else has some input here....Minny
