We had a meeting with the atty yesterday to go over the forms in preparation to filing (finally!).
One of the things he put into our list of expenses that I wasn't aware of was that because one of our vehicles is over 7 yrs old AND over 75,000 miles on the odometer, he was able to insert an additional $200/mo in allowable "expenses". I'm not sure if this is Colorado or Federal law but it was a pleasant surprise for me. He said they look at it as a likely increase in maintenance and repairs for such an "older" vehicle. We bought it used a couple of years ago so we're OK on the allowable value of the vehicle itself.
Like I said, this was news to me so I thought I'd pass it along in case others can take advantage of it and didn't know about it.
