Update and Over reaction?

Call it picking on you or something else, it is definitely in the way they interpret the Code. Trustees are so divergent, there are attorneys who know how to "game" the system so that a particular Trustee and/or Judge presides over a particular client's case... for a reason! Yes, we don't have to label them, but believe me... around the District, they probably have worse names for the Trustee who picks apart every expense.

My attorney is waitingto file our case until the caseload is full for one of our trustees. So I know that trustees can be different.

They say he can be a pain in the ass.

Our trustee nitpicks and our attorney said he was being a jerk for making us pay the $1900 by Dec 1 (our attorney had asked for a date near date where objections of creditors cannot be taken). Having said that, there is another trustee that we did not want in any way shape or form and our attorney was glad not to have gotten him and I think he filed to avoid him.

On the $1900 we have filed a motion with the judge for the 75/25 rule but the judge we have denied that from two other clients our attorney had just last month. So we are hoping but not counting on it.

BTW, our attorney on the means test took our $500 donation and averaged it out for the year (I believe for the year, might have been 6 months I would have to look) and put that amount in the column. So that should resolve that issue on the means test. On the schedule J he took an average of what we have paid in the past off our former tax returns that establish a history and put that amount in. That he feels should be accepted and usually the US Trustee office in my state doesn't fight charitable contributions a lot since many people here tithe to their religious organization.

I think in the end we may have to appear before the judge to answer questions but where we have well over $900 to spare I think we will be okay. Either way, the amended paperwork is in and we'll wait until we hear now. As our attorney says, its not over until it is over.
