Prospective Debtor has a legal separation judgment from June 2013. In that
judgment he give a condo with 300K equity to wife. There is no adjustment
for debts.
Now Debtor is having financial problems and wants to file chapter 7.
1. It is my understanding that such an uneven division is not immune from
being treated, in a subsequent bankruptcy, like any other gift. If Debtor
files chapter 7 will the trustee sue the wife for Debtor's share of 300K or
to sell the property if the wife cannot pay 150K in cash.
2. If Debtor gets half of the house back and now owns 150K of equity. What
happens if Debtor now files chapter 7 and exempts his half of the equity?
Is it now protected from the trustee?
