Subject: [cdcbaa] Client prospect has premarital debt and over the means test because of postmarital income
PC has no income she earns herself, and only has community property income. She has $20,000 of consumer debt she accrued before marriage in 2010 and her husband will not pay it. She lives in a HH of 3. Husband earns $120,000, and since she must report that she earns that income she will not pass the means test.
Ive had some clients that I put through knowing they will not pass the means test, and the UST sends out a notice of presumption of abuse but doesnt move to convert or dismiss. They get their discharge. This has happened on 2 or 3 occasions.
Can this presumption of abuse be overcome, or is the UST likely to let it slide?
