domestic partner

I\'ve been living with a woman for five years. We are not married and she hasn\'t worked in several years. Back problems are restricting her ability to find work. I have been claiming her as a dependent for a few years on my taxes and I was wondering if I could claim a two person household for bankruptcy purposes? She also has debts that are high, can I add hers to mine also?

ANSWER.

I am not an attorney but it would seem that if you have been filing tax together, living common law together than the bankruptcy will be together too.
