How to determine Debtor family size?

[terriday]

This may seem like an easy question, but I live with a roommate who pays part of the expenses.

On the means test, I put the amount she pays me as other income, but since we do share expenses, including the car and I do pay for most of the bills... are we a family of 2 or 1?

Nice try ,

but you are a family of 1.

Here's a question. When I file, I am going to be newly married (~2 weeks or so) have a step daughter and a little one in the womb. Does that count as 3 people or 4?

Three - yourself, your wife, and your stepdaughter. Baby to come doesn't count until after he/she is born.

Kinda figured. Won't effect much really, just thought I'd ask

Maybe 2,........... Depending on how much child support biological Dad pays, and/or the custody settlement/agreement.

Who get's to claim step-daughter on their taxes??!! Mom/Wife or biological Dad.

Mom/wife

Then you are a family of 3.
