Chapter:
7
Date of Decision:
April 7, 2006
Issue:
Whether the debtor could claim personal property exemptions under S.D.C.L. § 43-45-4 as a head of household?
Ruling:
The debtor’s income was less than her non-filing husband’s and she had no dependents. Thus, her husband was the head of their household for exemption purposes, not the debtor.
