I posted this question in the ch 7 forum, and someone suggested I post my questions here.
Situation: I am divorced as of 2008 and have been living with my girlfriend in CA Central District for about 1 year now and share a checking account. We are NOT married. Her checks get direct deposited into the account. We also have a leased apartment together and expenses are shared. I am currently making 1900 per month on unemployment income and share physical custody of 2 childeren w/ my ex-wife.
Questions:
- Do I need to list my girlfriend's income as well in the means test and statement of financial affairs or can I get away w/ only listing my own?
- Is her money and belongings at risk?
-Will I be required to show copies of banks statements to the trustee?
- Am I able to list my 2 childeren as members of household?
- Am I able to completely disregard listing any information regarding my girlfriend since we are not married and could technically say we are roomates?
- Also, I have a vehicle worth 12000 and only owe 6700 on it. I believe its covered under CA system 2 Wildcard (unused homestead - I dont own a home). Will my financing company most likely try to take it and sell it even though Im making payments on it? What steps should I take to ensure its kept?
Wow - I thank anybody in advance for taking the time to help me! Its very appreciated!
