Judge can ask what the debtor spends money on — such as cable TV or cigarettes — and require him (or her) to end frivolous spending until the court fees and fines are paid, 12th Circuit Chief Judge Lee Haworth told HeraldTribune.
Cable TV I could do without. With the judge the final arbitor of what is frivolous and what is not however I WOULD be worried about.
Will your car payments be deemed frivolous when they discover you live on a bus line that can get you to work in a mere 2 1/2 hours?
Will your health care insurance payments be deemed frivolous if you pay for your own rather than receiving it from an employer?
Will you be forced to sell the lakeside summer cabin your grandfather built while property values are rock bottom -after all, the judge likes fishing in that area as well?
