Chapter:
7
Date of Decision:
July 15, 2002
Issue:
Whether the debtors’ case should be dismissed on the pleadings under § 707(b) for substantial abuse?
Ruling:
The case was subject to dismissal under § 707(b) because the debtors had disposable income of $434.75, which would allow them to fund a meaningful Chapter 13 plan. At the debtors’ earlier request, the case was converted to Chapter 13 in lieu of dismissal.
