In re Uhrich

Ruling
Judgment liens avoided as impairing homestead exemption of single debtor living jointly with co-debtor.
Procedural posture
Debtors one and two were single individuals who jointly own a residence. They both resided there with two minor children. Each filed a separate chapter 7 bankruptcy case, and each claimed a homestead exemption. No objections were filed. Discharges were entered. Debtors moved to reopen their bankruptcy cases to set aside two judgment liens under 11 U.S.C. § 522(f)(1) because the liens impaired their homestead exemptions.
