I'l try to make this question short . I'm really close on means test to file chapter 7 , I did it online . My questions are i get child support , 280.00 per month i put that on as income my 1st question is does that detucted from my income somewhere else on form ?
My 2nd question is I pay 160.00 per in student loans but i saw no where to add that as an expence ! Is there any where on menas test to do detuct this.

If both come off thats a 440.00 difference.
If the student loans come out thats 120.00 difference .
I just want every deduction i can get.

thanks for the help


Cchild support (if regulary received) is income and would not be taken off anywhere on the means test.

Here is a link to the actual form (not an online calculator)
www.uscourts.gov/rules/Revised_Rules_and_Forms/BK_Form_B22A101105.pdf

Child Support received goes under # 8

I believe that student loans comes under #44
Payments on priority claims. ---- can someone else confirm if that is right or not?

I can subtract the money i pay on loans from disposable income ? If i could do that i could file chapter 7 instead of 13.
