Well, we resolved it this way: We got the judgment debtor to pay my guy in a lump sum, so we'll just stick it in his bank account and exempt it. But I'm still not 100% sure of what the "correct" thing to do is. Thanks everyone.

Include the face amount in the description on Exhibit "B" and the discounted present value of the stream of payments in the value column. Then exempt the stream of payments. Do not include in Schedule I. There is no way to accues you of failure to disclose because the information is contained in Exhibit "B". Furthermore, the debtor has no olbigation to "use" exempt assets to pay creditor claims. Interesting case.

Subject: [cdcbaa] income from settlement/judgment?
If a debtor has a receivable from a settlement of $16,000, which we fully exempt, and he is receiving monthly payment pursuant to that settlement agreement of $1,500, does that $1,500 have to be listed in Schedule "I" and factored into his monthly income, or does the receivable just need to be listed on Schedule "B"? On one hand, it seems like income, but on the other, I don't see why debtor should be penalized (via a 707b motion) just because the judgement debtor is paying him in installments on an exempt asset rather than paying him in a lump sum pre-petition.
