I am certainly no expert in Family Law, and defer to people like Pat Green
and David Tilem to correct me here. But Family Code 771a codifies when a
spouse's income becomes separate property, and separation is viewed by both
objective and -- the key here -- subjective intent to end the marriage. See
In Re Marriage of Baragry, 73 Cal.App.3d 444 (1977), In Re Marriage of
Hardin,38 Cal.App.4th 448 (1995), and In Re Marriage of Manfer, 144
Cal.App.4th 925 (2006).

Your happily married couple doesn't have an intent to end the marriage, and
your potential solo debtor certainly doesn't want to perjure themselves on
B22A, Line 2(a), which speaks of evading 11 USC 707b2A.

I'd conclude that both your spouses' income should be included on Schedule I
and the B22A.

Must a non filing spouse's income be included on Schedule I if the non
filing spouse lives separately from filing spouse (happily married, but
separate households)?
Thanks,
