ORDER SUSTAINING OBJECTION TO CLAIM OF EXEMPTIONS
MARY D. SCOTT, Bankruptcy Judge.
The debtor lists his residence as exempt property pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 522 on the grounds that it is his homestead. The debtor’s former wife, Kathy Smith, objects to this exemption, arguing that the debtor, being single, cannot maintain a homestead. In addition, Ms. Smith pleads that her lien may not be avoided. Trial was held on February 4, 1992. Jan Thomas appeared on behalf of the debtor, and Chadd Durrett appeared for Kathy Smith.
The Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C.…
