I am currently 15 months into a 60-month plan. Since the time of filing, my husband I are suffering a decrease in income from work. We have recently met with our attorney to amend our plan to not only account for the income loss but to also ask for additional food and clothing allowance as the budget is very tight for it as it stands. We also requested a childcare allowance for our 9 year old because the school boundaries have changed sending him to another school that has different school hours that do not coordinate with our working schedules for before/after school supervision.
My attorney stated that by law our son could be a "latchkey kid" and he would not include our requested increase of allowances in the new plan, even though we are a family of 7 and from the information I obtained from the Census Bureau, we are well below the allowable living expenses for food and clothing, even with the requested increases. Does anyone have any advice please?
