I also pay 160.00 per month for student loans , I know the student loans cant be included in bk. but i also detuct the monthly payment from means test to qualifiy for chapter 7 ?


Your health insurance payment will be figured into your means test. The student loans will, as well. There are several online means test calculators available. Not all expenses are allowed. There are caps based on family size. For example your food and clothing allowance are standardized numbers.
