Financial Aid Refund Check & Used Car
Hello!
My husband and I anticipate filing for BK at the end of April. We recently received our tax refund check for arround 8k and need it to purchase a car and for moving expenses to relocate to a more affordable apartment. Once we are settled we will file. We do not own a home, looking to purchase a reliable car for no more than 4k, we have 2 children and make around 30k a year. We do not have any property. We only have clothing, cheap furniture and the car we anticpate getting as well as car insurance.
I am enrolled in college and receive financial aid refund checks. My refund checks are a little under 2k each and I get them every quarter. The financial aid I receive is strictly government based grants, no loans. I use my refund checks within the financial aid guidelines. If i receive my refund close to or after the ch 7 filing will I need to forfeit it ?
Also in my state (washington) The car exemption is 2500 andn 5000 for two cars if married. If I get a car for 4k, can I use the two car exemption for married couples towards one car (instead of two for 2500, one under 5000)?
Thank you so much for all of your advice.
