Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney's Association

Inter-spousal transfers is a very common issue, and they frequently seem to occur just prior to filing.
I think that the scope of the marital privilege is important too, as well as the the extent of coverage for the attorney-client privilege when only one spouse is filing (seems pretty straightforward, but won't hurt to spell it out)
The possible (and unfortunate) conflict of interest that can arise in representing both spouses is another issue worth touching on I think.
Also the inclusion of spousal income in the means test even if the other spouse does not file.
There may also be questions about spousal and child support in divorce situations.

Subject: [cdcbaa] Family Law crossover MCLE suggestions
addresses all the common issues re: Family Law that cross over into bankruptcy. To help prepare for that and to make it as relevant as possible to what you want, please reply with your burning questions or issues involving Family Law that you see come up again and again in your representation of consumer debtors.
One I get at every consultation with a married debtor is: "will this affect my (nonfiling) spouse?" It's never "harm" or "impact" or "devastate" but the very slight "affect."
Another question or issue that comes up again and again is the concept of "community debt."
What else would you want to see discussed if we were going to do a "Top 10 things every BK lawyer should know about Family Law" ?
