I'm sitting here waiting for him to email my petition to proof and if all looks good I should be filed on Monday morning.
A couple of surprises... I was evidently about $106 over the median so I had to be "means tested" into a Chapter 7 which the attorney said will bring more scrutiny to my case. He went over a bunch of deductions with me to make sure he had everything he could and he said I'm just skating by in a 7.
On one hand, I'm relieved, but on the other hand, I'm wondering what this "increased scrutiny" will look like.
The other thing is that the money we have saved for my kids' college funds (not much, I think it's under $1000) is not exempt even though most of it consists of gifts from family for birthdays, etc. My kids are young so I'm not "worried" about it so much as surprised that they would go after a small amount like that.
Well, the email has come in so I'm off to review my case... If all goes well, I should be filed by Monday!
