Bankrupcy and child support, alimony

by Mindi Lasley on August 14, 2009

Debts that qualify as domestic support obligations are automatically excepted from discharge in bankruptcy cases (including Chapters 7, 11, 12 and 13). 

This includes alimony and child support as long as it’s paid pursuant to a court order. 

While other debts may be dischargeable in a bankruptcy case, alimony and child support are secure.
