"Arizona Chapter 13 Information"

Basic Chapter 13 information and forms are available from Arizona bankruptcy courts. Be aware that official instructions provided by the court are significantly different that personal legal advice. Typically the determination of "disposable income" is fertile ground for creditor objections. Amendments to regulation of Ch. 13 payments are now pending before Congress. In particular, these pending amendments incorporate a universal standard for living allowances, rather than allow judges discretion to adjust payments for the needs of individuals.

11 U.S.C. chapter 1301, et seq.:

The Supreme Court of the State of Arizona has enacted amendments to its Rule 31 governing the unauthorized practice of law which became effective commencing July 1, 2003.

The amendments also create a limited exception for certified legal document preparers provided that the services performed are in compliance with State Code of Judicial Administration, Part 7, Chapter 2, Section 7-208.
