I have not decided whether I agree or not but according to Patrick, "Fam
Code 910 does not create personal liability for the debtors spouse. It
makes the community estate liable for the debts of either spouse incurred
before or during the marriage of the spouses."
If there is no personal liability, in theory, the wife's debt should not
count towards the limit.

Does that fact perhaps put it into the contingent category such that I can shoe horn him into a 13? It would be an OC case and a 5 year plan.

I would consider (if eligible) a chapter 7 with an undue hardship discharge
for those nasty student loans.
I just saw a recent 9th Cir. case in which the extreme amount of debt owed
as compared to income justified Undue Hardship. This is without medical
problems.
I hope this helps.

I am not 100% certain regarding 9th Circuit case law but my understanding
of a contingency is an event in the future which triggers the contingency.
Essentially, I look for an "If ... then ..." statement or its equivalent.
In my opinion, the statement has to be something that might not happen.

I have a PC who has $360,000 worth of Parent Plus Student loans which when added to the other debts brings him above the unsecured debt limits of 11 U.S.C. 109
Now $90,000 of that doesn't start repayment for 3 years.
Does that fact perhaps put it into the "contingent" category such that I can shoe horn him into a 13? It would be an OC case and a 5 year plan.
Thank you in advance for your opinion.
