   (b)  the person does not have a dependent child; and

   (c)  the person does not live at a home of the parents, or of a parent, of

        person to live at such a home; or

   (ii) domestic violence, incestuous harassment or other such exceptional
        circumstances make it unreasonable to expect the person to live at
