The Undue Hardship Presumption Sample Clauses

The Undue Hardship Presumption. The text of § 524(m)(1) reads: Until 60 days after an agreement of the kind specified in subsection (c) is filed with the court (or such additional period as the court, after notice and a hearing for cause, orders before the expiration of such period), it shall be presumed that such agreement is an undue hardship on the debtor if the debtor’s monthly income less the debtor’s monthly expenses as shown on the debtor’s completed and signed statement in support of such agreement required under subsection (k)(6)(A) is less than the scheduled payments on the reaffirmed debt. This presumption shall be reviewed by the court. The presumption may be rebutted in writing by the debtor if the statement includes an explanation that identifies additional sources of funds to make the payments as agreed upon under the terms of such agreement. If the presumption is not rebutted to the satisfaction of the court, the court may disapprove such agreement. No agreement shall be disapproved without notice and a hearing to the debtor and creditor, and such hearing shall be concluded before the entry of the debtor’s discharge.”34 However, the term “undue hardship” is not defined in the Bankruptcy Code. “No law, regulation, or rule of any kind offers any guidance as to how the attorney should identify a hardship that is ‘undue,’ and . . . section 524 contains no provisos or safe harbors for construing ‘undue hardship’ in the good faith exercise of professional judgment or based on a reasonable fact inquiry.”35 31 11 U.S.C. 362(h) (2005). 32 Id. 33 Napoli, supra note 5, at 286.
