It's really a situation of 400-500 variables to report, some of which are dependent upon and calculated by others (and once calculated, need to be kept available for further calculation, and for which the calculated value may be overridden). Unfortunately, there is no general pattern, although for a significant portion, they are repeated for the codebtor (wife) in a joint filing. Currently, with SQLite, I que there are that many "single use" data (outside of the assets and debts) in a bankruptcy petition. -- The Hawkins Law Firm Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
