I am sure somebody posted this information somewhere and if so, please tell me where it is. I love this site. You guys have so much information that I have actually become familiar with terminology by reading what you have and when I spoke with the attorney and he said some of these words, I knew a little about it.
Could someone please tell me the rules for people, parents, kids, boyfriends, girlfriends, roommates etc and bankruptcy with folks living together. As most of you know, for financial reasons, people live together to make ends meet. When filing BK, what are the rules for declaration of income? I work and I gave my trustee my check stubs for 90 days and my income tax forms for 2005 and 2006. My daughter lives with me along with her twin girls(7) both of whom are autistic. Even though both of us are on the lease, I pay the rent and she pays everything else (beyond utilities) except my personal debt with her government checks that she receives.
I do ask her to contribute 155.00 dollars for food for the twins and she takes care of herself and her girls with the rest. I am not sure if anybody here has someone who needs 24hrs care because of a disability, but let me just say for the record, its a huge financial responsibility and an emotional one as well.
It never occured to me that the trustee or anybody else might be interested in what she gets from the government and to be honest, she and I never discuss money so her finances have never been a concern for me unless she is unable to meet an obligation and this usually involves the autistic twins, so I will step in. When the lawyer ask me what my daughter gives me, I told them about the 155.00 dollars and they put that in my paperwork, however since I have never actually asked her for a copy of her government checks or anything else for that matter, will this be an issue?
I told the lawyer about being a signee on my sisters savings account with a balance of 268.00 and I know that went in the paperwork, but is the trustee interested in my income or everybody,s income because we all stay together? I noticed some of you mentioned that you live with parents, grandparents and kids and I just wondered what information you had to give to the trustee because I am trying to be honest here?
341 meeting is August-28-07 at 1:30pm and I want to be ready.
