Program Description
In June 2011, twenty Judges of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California issued a joint opinion holding that lawfully married (i.e., pre-Prop. 8) same-sex couples have the same right to file joint bankruptcy petitions as lawfully married opposite-sex couples. However, where does that leave same-sex registered domestic partners, who are also subject to California's community property system yet lack the ability to file a joint bankruptcy petition? Judge Robert Kwan and practitioners Peter Lively and Rob Pfister (the attorneys who litigatedIn re Balas & Morales) will provide an overview of the issues and challenges for bankruptcy attorneys advising same-sex couples, and will discuss possible solutions including joint administration, substantive consolidation, and the possibility of a change in the Local Bankruptcy Rules.
