Whether you qualify for a Chapter 7 liquidation instead of a Chapter 13 payment plan is largely determined by your HOUSEHOLD income. If you are married, both your incomes will be included in the calculus. As a result, you may want to hold off until you have received your discharge. This is definitely worth a visit to a qualified bankruptcy lawyer for a free consultation.
