How does having a boyfriend live with you to help with living expenses hinder or help with determining income surplus since you are adding an adult to a household which has one bankrupt adult and 3 children?

Indirectly the presence of another income earner will impact the cost, and potentially the lengthe of a bankruptcy. Both the cost and the length of a bankruptcy are based on the Superintendent’s surplus income calculation, which basically looks at your percentage of the household income to determine what you pay and for how long.
