Description: The means test used in consumer bankruptcy cases isn't rigid or fixed but rather adaptable and open to interpretation. There is space for maneuvering or navigating within the means test framework, giving consumer bankruptcy attorneys some degree of freedom or opportunity to influence the outcome through strategic planning and decision-making. While the means test is a significant factor in bankruptcy proceedings, there is leeway or flexibility within it that can be utilized to achieve favorable results. Whether you're a new bankruptcy professional or seeking to enhance your expertise, this webinar will equip you with the knowledge and insights needed to navigate the means testing process with confidence. In the materials, over 140 cases will be referenced, providing comprehensive examples and context for deeper understanding.
