another household size question

[jostby]

Didn't want to hijack the other thread... my son is in college out of town living in a dorm on campus. I can (and did) claim him on my taxes but my attorney is telling me he can't be used to determine my median income since he won't have lived in my house for 6mo this year. Is this true? This is really going to mess things up for a ch7 if so
Thanks,
Jeff.

Yes, it's true. But, if you provide some financial support, you might be able to claim some expenses, but it is REALLY REALLY hard to get the trustee and court to sign off on expenses for adult kids.
