Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida
Liability
If I claim my 48 year old homeless son as a dependent on my income tax form,, will I then become liable for all his unpaid bills which are in collectors hands?

Re: Liability
No. They have no contractual relationship with you and cannot collect his debts from you. You may however have a potential tax liability if your son isn't actually your dependent. I'm certainly not going to tell the IRS, though.
