u/Kittytastrophy27

I live in Kentucky and am married, but I am trying to file for chapter 7 solo. I have been talking to a lawyer and brought up marital adjustment to him and he told me he had never had a client use it before. My income pays for rent, childcare, my debt, some utilities and half of groceries for the month, the rest is covered by my husband, but that leaves a decent amount that is not being used towards the household. Most of his expendable cash goes towards diesel costs (almost $6 a gallon with a 2hr commute every day in a 1996 Cummins), and his personal spending. I guess my question is, what exactly can be used on the marital adjustment deduction? According to my lawyer's calculations I am about $1600 over the median income for filing chapter 7 and I am just trying to figure out if there is even a possibility that I could qualify? Has anyone else had luck with being technically over the median but qualifying anyways?
