Does an ex-spouse qualify as an insider under 101(31)(A)(I)?
Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2016 1:50 pm
It's not a DSO if it is a 523(a)(15) debt. 523(a)(15) debts are not
priority debts and are dischargeable in the Chapter 13. Accordingly, it isapplicable for debtor to undertake a 522(g) - (i) analysis to whether to pursue
recovery of the involuntary transfer to the former spouse.

I am a bit hesitant to respond but just foolish enough to do so.
DSO are very high on the priority chain; even (a)(15) which I believe are covered under 507(a)(1)(B). Are you sure the former spouse received more
than he would have under a hypothetical chapter 7 (without those transfers)? I
really doubt it.
I agree with Mark that this is not an insider transaction but for a
different reason. Often, insiders fabricate involuntary transfers to make them
look legitimate; so I do not look to see whether a transfer was voluntary or
involuntary. First, I look at the definition of insider to see if the target
fits one of those categories. If the target does not fit into a category,I look to see whether there is a special relationship which could help me classify someone as an insider.

Clearly it's an involuntary transfer. I have a hard time seeing how it
could be an insider transaction under the circumstances. You may be looking
at through the wrong lens If using 703's and there is wild card exemptionremaining. Debtor can pursue monies garnished during the preference period
in trustee's stead if involuntary and exempted, unless there is a family
law equalization exception that I am not remembering. (No code with me)

If debtor was garnished for the last one year for a 523(a)(15) debt to anex-spouse, is this a "preference" that the trustee could potentially go
after in a chapter 13, and is the ex-spouse an "insider".
Normally, the debtor proposes to pay the equivalent into the plan so as tobe fair to the other creditors. and the trustee would have the transfereesign a tolling agreement so to the extent not paid in the plan, the trustee
could pursue the transferee outside the 2 year period to do so. Is the
debtor required to pay this in the plan or can debtor just ask trustee topursue the transferee? Obviously in this scenario, the debtor would prefer the
trustee pursue it against the transferee. She was compelled to make thosepayments via court order.
