MEMORANDUM OF DECISION

ROBERT L. KRECHEVSKY, Chief Judge.

I

ISSUE

In this core proceeding, see 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(H) (Supp. Ill 1985), the plaintiff-trustee, Thomas M. Germain, contends that a debtor’s pre-petition conveyance to his wife of his one-half interest in the family residence constituted a fraudulent transfer. Judy Kaczorowski, the defendant-transferee, defends on the ground that she gave the debtor reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfer. The following facts, elicited at a short trial held on May 11, 1988, are not disputed in any significant way by either party.
