Filed chapter 7 June 27. 341 meeeting at end of August. Worried about income and bank deposits. If my husband painted a neighbor's house on the side and got paid $500 and still earned his regular paycheck that week should we be worried about this extra income? His regular pay was about $200 less than his normal pay. So the total income for the month would still be inline with what our attorney listed as income on our papers. Thanks...

In a Chapter 7, any income "earned" AFTER the date you filed your petition is yours. -
I have a question along the same lines ... I was thinking of trying to pick up a second job to build up money for savings. If I file tomorrow (aug. 5) how long should I wait before it won't look fishy?
Thanks!Comment

I'd wait a few weeks. Its generally better to wait until after the 341 meeting, that way it doesn't appear like you filed immediately before getting another job.Comment

"Herekitty",
I was going to get the 2nd job and my lawyer said "you want to do Chapter 7 instead of 13 - you best not be getting another 2nd job" right now. Would create excess income to force you into Chapter 13. Said too wait till after 341 meeting for sure!!!
