Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Michigan

tax return refund

I know after filing a chapter 13, the money from any refund is supposed to go to the trustee to pay creditors. Can we request the tax refund be used for college tuition?

Re: tax return refund

You can ask, but how the money is used is entirely up the Trustee, and it is usually used to pay your creditors - depends on where you are in the phase of your chapter 13, if you've made all payments, etc. If you otherwise have enough money to cover your monthly payments, and can demonstrate the financial need to use it for tuition, then perhaps it is possible. Discuss this with your bankruptcy lawyer or the trustee's assistant who can better answer this question since they will know the details of your case.
