How Judge Callaway decides

What persuades

Mixed-debt Chapter 7 cases apply the exemption limits in effect on the petition date.

“The undersigned judges find that, in Chapter 7 cases with a ‘mix’ of debts which pre-and postdate the change in exemptions, the approach which complies with the Bankruptcy Code and is most consistent with other law is to apply the exemption limits in effect at the time of the bankruptcy petition”
