bankruptcy - family size
Already tried paying through a credit councelling service. Now Considering Bankruptcy.
Two questions - my 65 year old sister moved in this spring after her husband died. She only gets a small Soc Sec check and helps me with the utilities. I have a 21 year old daughter away at college.
How will the bankrupcy system determine my family size. 1,2 or 3?
Will my sisters social security be considered? She is sick with cancer and uses her money for heathcare.

Hang on someone else will be along to help with your questions, Good Luck Reny

I'm not completely sure, but I THINK that your family size will be one since you are unmarried and have no dependent children. I also THINK that you will have to count the portion of your sister's income that she contributes to the household expenses, but not the rest of it.
Most bankruptcy attorneys will give a free initial consultation. It would probably be worthwhile for you to go in and talk to one.
