When filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy as an individual can I use my son towards my household size if I have joint custody with my ex-husband.
Your household size is not the same thing as the number of dependents or custody arrangement. If your child lives in your household you can claim him. If not, no. If your child only lives in your house at certain times (e.g., summers with you, school years with other parent) then you answer the question according to what your household size is on the day you file the bankruptcy petition.
