Legal Question in Family Law in Alabama

Child support and bankruptcy

My sister has been divorced for 6 years. She has 3 children and is receiving child support from he ex.

She just received notice that her ex is filing for bankruptcy and has listed her as a creditor.

Does this mean that he will be able to stop paying child support?

Is his ownership of the house equity be lost as part of this filing?
