>This California potential client is over 65, jobless and living on social security. His current financial problems arise from a marital dissolution property distribution order entered in the LA Superior Court. He does no longer has title to or possession of the underlying real property property that was awarded to the former spouse in the court judgment. I believe there was a foreclosure of one parcel and, as to the other, he apparently never had any enforceable rights or interest in the property, contrary to the court's findings. Unfortunately, the judgment awards not the property, but millions of dollars based upon valuations of those properties without any conditions relative to disposition or status of the property. The time to appeal has long since lapsed. His only other debt is a small IRS lien and a unpaid debt for a recreational vehicle. My preliminary analysis tells me that a Ch 7 is pointless due to the nondischargeable aspect of the judgment
under that chapter. Moreover, while the PC could, I believe, discharge this debt in a Ch 13 upon full compliance (as the judgment does not concern spousal support), he is ineligible for Ch 13 due to the sec 109(e) debt limitation. If so, and if he therefore files a Ch 11, he can't discharge any portion of it (any longer under BAPCA), and must somehow provide for it in a plan. This makes Ch 11, with its attendant costs, almost pointless. Moreover, the stay does not apply to this judgment during a Ch 11.

Thanks Nick. This all makes sense except that he is still hopeful of resuming his once-profitable business ventures (he was once a very successful businessman). But with the judgment hanging over him and (as I understand it) a relentless former spouse, he has little financial incentive to do so.

After all, if his sole source of income is social security, and his assets are minimal, against what will the judgment creditor collect? Perhaps he should tell his creditors where things stand. If they see that hes a dry well, maybe the phone calls will stop.
