Advice Please

Hi

I am about to go bankrupt but I would be grateful with help regarding a few questions.

1. They are asking for my expenditure for the court forms. However, this is not my true expenditure as my ex partner is paying for the things I cannot afford under JSA. So, although we have an agreed expenditure he is subsidising me as obviously I cannot pay what I do not have. Therefore, should I give my supposed expenditure, even though it will be more than my income, or meet it to what I have coming in at the moment (ie JSA at £65.45 a week).

Thanks

    just put the answers as they are asked, its as simple as that. in section 6 it asks if you receive any money from anyone else which you do so if you fill that in it will balance out
