To get a hardship, file a motion. If she is on disability, and cannot fund a 50.00 per month plan, discharge should be granted, however, if she can afford a $50 per month plan, just move to amend.

high earning associate at a law firm and her case was confirmed at
$480/month.
Now she's basically crashed and burned with major depression and lost
her job. She will be going on disability.
I need to either convert her case or go for a hardship Chapter 13
discharge. There were no lien strippings or other circumstances that
make a Chapter 13 discharge necessarily more desirable.
Does she qualify for a Chapter 7 discharge now, or is this case tainted
by her earnings going in? Is letting the case dismiss and refiling her
a better option?
