If you are thinking about filing for bankruptcy, there are certain things you must take into consideration before making your final decision. Not all debt can be discharged through bankruptcy. There are certain types of debt such as child support, alimony, most student loans, certain taxes and court-ordered fines or penalties that are not eligible for discharge through bankruptcy. Child support is a financial obligation that an individual has towards his or her child. Most child support arrangements come from divorce or family law proceedings and are legal obligations that must be fulfilled, regardless of whether or not an individual files for bankruptcy.
In many instances, the bankruptcy court will actually waive the automatic stay before the bankruptcy has concluded, so that wage garnishment or collection efforts to recover unpaid child support payments are allowed to continue. There are also cases in which the court may find you liable for any legal fees charged as a result of your unpaid child support.
