My wife and I believe we need to file for bankruptcy. But we have a situation. My wife is from Europe and she has to go there for a medical emergency for her father. She will be gone until August 1. We understand that when you file, you compute the prior six months salary.
She will leave at the end of this week, and this time off is unpaid. Is it best to wait until August to file so that the average monthly salary will be a lot less? We weren't sure if this would be considered a fraud issue. Secondly, she had to take the remaining bit of savings, close to 5k, to pay for the expenses of travel, and essentially taking care of living expenses while there. We have all documentation to prove her father's condition and all the signed FMLA papers. Would this look unfavorable to a BK trustee?
