I am changing residence immediately prior to filing for bankruptcy. Will increasing rent affect my chances of discharging my debt in chapter 7 bankruptcy? My income is around $28,000, and I am currently living with my parents. If I move into an apartment with a friend, will the rent increase/disposable income decrease affect my chances of discharging my debt? My friend will be paying half of the rent.

I have a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization registered in Virginia with a mission to benefit children and adults with disabilities in Bangladesh. I would like to donate the funds I have raised to a non-profit in Bangladesh, Society For The Welfare Of Autistic Children, but they are not an American nonprofit. What is the legal protocol for donating from a U.S. non-profit to an international non-profit, and can I donate to another U.S.-based organization like Autism Speaks if I am unable to donate to the Bangladeshi organization?

I have an X-ray powder diffractometer, which is the property of my company, installed in a university laboratory. I was verbally offered a job title of self-supported research professor by the chair of the chemistry department, with the expectation of being paid through fees charged to external users for services involving the instrument. However, I have not signed any paperwork, and my appointment status remains unclear. Additionally, a professor with tenure at the university is causing issues regarding the placement of my instrument. What type of contract or use agreement should I request for the use of the diffractometer and for maintenance, and should I be paid by a 1099 form as an independent contractor or through university payroll under the 'self-supported research professor' title?
