Hello friends. My wife wants to open up the kitchen. Doing so I will need to remove a wall. It sits off the marriage line about 12 inches or so. It has a post on one end and is open through the top and then a small wall on the other end. It looks like the post is between 2 scissor trusses and not quite sure on the other end. I looked under the house, didnt see any extra support underneath this wall. I will post pictures of the wall. Do you think this wall can be removed? Any help would be greatly appreciated

I doubt that the short offset wall is load bearing. the wall directly under the marriage seam IS load bearing.
At worse case you could add a support post.
