How Do I Deduct My Non-Filing Spouse’s Expenses on the Bankruptcy Means Test?

HOW EXACTLY DO WE DEDUCT ‘MARITAL ADJUSTMENTS’?
In re Dugan, Case No. 07-40899
August, 2008, Judge Karlin
Chapter 13 Trustee objections to debtor’s attempts to include a marital adjustment on Lines 13
and 19 for a non-filing spouse and a deduction for transportation expenses. Court
allowed, in theory, the marital deduction, but found it had not been supported with any
detail. Debtor was given time to provide documentation. Digest by Jan Hamilton Trustee.
