Subject: [cdcbaa] Re: Divorce Judgments after BAPCPA
To all who have expertise in the intersection of Family Law and Bankruptcy.
H & W are getting a divorce...in process for 3 years. They are negotiating
the split of the balance of their property, part cash and part pension plan.
W has a business on the brink of failure and has informed H that she's about
to file a Chapter 7 petition...the wolves are baying.
When I review In Re Keller (9th Cir BAP, 1994, one of many 9th Circuit cases
on this issue), it appears that once a California judge has a) issued a
judgment of dissolution which identifies the properties to be divided; b)
actually divides those properties; and c) the properties have actually been
divided.....then the properties which now belong to H are not part of W's
bankruptcy estate under 541(a), unless the property is secured by a debt
which is W's responsibility.
Are there any post BAPCPA cases or other decisions which would change the
result in Keller?

I would send the letter to the atty first - you will likely have to send
a QWR also, but send the POC preparer the letter first

Try Judicial Estoppel:
"Judicial estoppel is an equitable
doctrine that precludes a party from gaining an advantage
by asserting one position, and then later seeking an
advantage by taking a clearly inconsistent position." Hamilton
v. State Farm Fire & Cas. Co., 270 F.3d 778, 782 (9th Cir.
2001).

Thanks. Should I send a RESPA letter to the lender too, or just a letter to the attorney who prepared the POC?

I would send a letter to whoever prepared the POC and ask them to detail all expenses included in the POC. Then compare that to the payoff statement. This gives them a chance to fix the error. Then once you egt your response (unless it is "oops we made a mistake) definitely object to the POC. I would be happy to take a look at what you have once you have the response from your letter.
