What is the current consensus amongst our judges for allowing the ownership
expense deduction on means test Form 22A lines 23 and 24 (as distinguished
from the operating expense on line 22) where the debtors have no secured
debt or lease payment on the vehicle(s) (i.e. they are free and clear)?
I have a case where the difference for the two cars the debtors own will
make the difference between "passing" and "not passing" the means test.
