A: It depends on your home value. If the home is worth 200,000 the combination of the State Exemption $69,200 and the liquidation cost of $20,000 would reduce the required payoff to around $10,000. If the house is worth more, the amount you would have to pay in would be less because the liquidation amount would be higher. So a 300,000 house, liquidation cost of 30,000 would allow you to pay a minimal amount. You might also consider hiring an attorney that specialized in debt settlement to lower your debt payments.
