A debtor must propose a Chapter 13 plan in “good faith” and “not by any means forbidden by law.” The good faith requirement in Chapter 13 ensures that a plan complies with the Bankruptcy Code and prevents abuse. “Good faith” is not defined by the Bankruptcy Code and is defined by the courts as dependent upon the totality of the circumstances considering several factors. It is critical that your Chapter 13 lawyer understand the criteria to determine good faith.
