In re Ariyaserbsiri
Sep
17
2008
Ruling
Below-median debtor's income had to be combined with that of non-debtor spouse in determining appropriate commitment period.
Procedural posture
A bankruptcy debtor proposed a plan which provided for payments over a period less than five years because the debtor's income was below the median income of a family similar to the debtor's family. The bankruptcy trustee objected to confirmation of the debtor's plan on the ground that the debtor's family income exceeded the median when the income of the debtor's non-filing spouse was included, and thus the five-year commitment period applied.
