In re Jaber

Ruling
Debtor spouse who took title to property subject to judgment lien could not avoid the lien as impairing her exemption.
Procedural posture

Chapter 13 debtors, a husband and wife, sought to avoid creditors' judicial lien that encumbered their residence under 11 U.S.C.S. § 522(f). They contended that the lien could be avoided because it impacted the wife's homestead exemption claimed under Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 2329.66(A)(1)(b).
