Greetings! Here's my situation. I am 1 month away from divorce trial. I have been in Chapter 13 bankruptcy and made all my payments for the last 16 months. My duration is 42 months. My wife is the co-petitioner on the Ch 13. We were exempted $40,000 on the equity of our home. The current equity is appx $65,000.

Our agreement thus far is to sell the house upon divorce and split the equity. My question is, does the $25,000 that was not exempted in the bankruptcy go to the trustee? How does the absence of the house payment affect our bankruptcy and since she's asking for 1/2 of my paycheck every month for 4 years, how does it affect the bankruptcy as a whole?

Ok, OK... 3 questions. :)

Thanks so much.

Eric
