I have 2 chapter 11’s that are dismissed. The reason I have 2 is bcz I did not use an attorney. I was trying to stop an eviction, but when I went to try to add another month’s rent to the bankruptcy, but the guy filed another one. About a month later, I ended up losing my job. They are scheduled to fall off in January and March 2021. Since I’m looking to purchase a home soon but still there. I am currently enrolled in Credit Patcup and I must say, I am loving it thus far. I’m doubling it up with your podcast videos and learning A LOT! Thank you. I’m ready to join the millionaire club!!!

$4, 300 is absurd. My gf made about 6k all of last year and I provided most EVERYTHING.

Ok I have a question, my wife and I separated many years ago but never actually filed the divorce. She now lives with another man and has primary custody. She does not have any income. She claims that her boyfriend can claim the kids because they live in his house more than 6 months. She as a dependent herself can’t file taxes.. who claims the kids?
