Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Massachusetts

Interesting question. I have not read any judges opinion on this issue, bit my instinct us that the answer is no. I believe there are placed on the means test where child support payments are accounted for. I also think "household" means the peole living under the same roof. Good luck!

Waffle, waffle. Here's the rule.

I gather that you are asking about household size and not getting means test credit for the amount of child support you pay.

Ignore the tax dependent deduction stuff. A child who lives with you more than two months in a year is part of your household and family for means test purposes, so check your calendar and count the days.

Don't practice law for yourself because you'll have a fool for a client. Hire a lawyer who gives straight answers and stands behind them.
