| No Comments
| Bankruptcy Filing

A dependent is defined as “someone who relies on another for support; one not able to exist or sustain oneself without the power or aid of someone else.”  This definition matters quite a bit if you are considering filing for bankruptcy.  Times have been rather tough for some Americans as the economy has hit a […]
