BAPCPA Interim Rules online
This past Tuesday evening, my old friend Randy Wilhite and I did our annual divorce-bankruptcy class for Randy's Family Law Course at the University of Houston Law Center, and the usual good time was had by all. For those interested in the subject -- which Randy and I characterize as "the train wreck of the law" -- feel free to review my powerpoint presentation and contact me if you desire further information on our presentation.
This year's presentation was particularly interesting because of the impact of Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, which went into effect this past October. The Advisory Committee on Bankruptcy Rules has approved Interim Bankruptcy Rules and Official Forms for BAPCPA, the purpose of which is to implement BAPCPA's substantive and procedural changes during the gap period between the effective date of BAPCPA and the Supreme Court's promulgation of new BAPCPA rules. These interim rules and forms officially took effect on December 1, 2005, and here is the full text of the new rules and forms. Some of the additional proposed rules and forms remain subject to public comment until February 15, 2006 and, thus, are not yet effective, but you can review the text of those rules here.
