"Arizona Chapter 13 Payments"
Following confirmation of a plan, all Arizona bankruptcy cases filed under Chapter 13 require regular payments
to a trustee. All "disposable income" must be paid to the trustee, according to definitions, guidelines and
discretion allowed each court.
| 11 U.S.C. §1326(a) "(1) Unless the court orders otherwise, the debtor shall
commence making the payments proposed by a plan within 30 days after the plan is filed.(2) A payment made
under this subsection shall be retained by the trustee until confirmation or denial of confirmation of a
plan. If a plan is confirmed, the trustee shall distribute any such payment in accordance with the plan as
soon as practicable. If a plan is not confirmed, the trustee shall return any such payment to the debtor,
after deducting any unpaid claim allowed under section 503(b) of this title." |

Arizona Bankruptcy Court., July 1, 2003. 11 USC 110(k) does not permit a bankruptcy petition preparer to engage

practice of law." 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. Rule 31 sets forth the general rule
that only an active member of the State Bar of Arizona may practice law in the State. 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.
