Q: I filed a Ch13 in NYS but since moved to MD. The income means are higher in MD. Am I able to switch my Ch13?
Would I have to have the Ch13 in NYS dismissed and then refile in MD? The payments to the trustee are too high. I'm struggling to pay it. Also, I owe student loans. I Am planning on going back to college. You do not have to pay back student loans while you are in school at least half time. Can my student loan be removed from my debts under Ch13, in order to lower my payments?
A: You can dm your 13 in NYS and refile in MD once you meet the residency requirement. Probably should enroll now and get deferment status in place before you file in MD.
