Guidelines on Post-Petition Payments of Arrearage and Fees in Chapter 13 Cases (Judge Waites)

Judge Waites’ chambers has produced guidelines to assist counsel in considering a debtor’s options in the payment of post-petition arrearage and the payment of post-petition fees, charges and expenses under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3002.1. The guidelines are available here. The guidelines have been reviewed and approved by Trustees Wyman and Stephenson and apply only to the chapter 13 cases assigned to Judge Waites.

Revised Form 362 Settlement Orders

Due to court-wide sunset of standard language in stay relief orders and due to the recent public health crisis, Judge Waites has updated the form 362 settlement orders which will allow for expedited consideration without a hearing. Copies of the form 362 settlement orders in Microsoft Word format are available here.
