My wife and I make too much

So i am meeting with a trustee in a few days. Will it be a problem if my wife makes 85000 and I make 92000/year?

I am declaring bankruptcy. Will we be treated differently? We are mortgaged to the max and our home value isn`t worth what we paid for it a year ago. We bought for 540 000. Its worth maybe 450 000. What do you think?

The cost of a bankruptcy is scaled depending on your income. With income the size of yours and your wifes there will be substantial surplus, so I am expecting that the cost of a bankruptcy will be significant.

The other thing you may want to consider is the possibility of filing a proposal as opposed to a bankruptcy. I think you will find that the trustee will strongly consider suggest this just because of the level of income you have.
