“A debtor must file a Chapter 13 petition in good faith, In re Myers , 491 F.3d 120 , 125 (3d Cir. 2007), and a Chapter 13 plan cannot be confirmed unless it has been proposed in good faith, 11 U.S.C. § 1325 (a)(3). Additionally, a Chapter 13 plan cannot be confirmed unless the petition was filed in good faith. 11 U.S.C. § 1325 (a)(7). Courts apply the same standards when analyzing good faith when considering grounds for dismissal or conversion of a case under § 1307(c) and when evaluating a plan under the § 1325 confirmation requirements.”
