Legal Question in Family Law in Alabama

Child Support/Bankrupt

I filed Chapter 13 2 year's ago. And the child support warrant was dismissed. The bankrupt was dismissed. If we have an court date set now for child support. Can my ex. have the warrant re-filed? Or will they discuss this at our trail?

Re: Child Support/Bankrupt

It can be re-issued and probably will. The best thing you can do is get a lawyer and work a payment plan with her or with DHR if they are involved in the collection. At least this way you save the 4% fee that the bankruptcy trustee would charge and you may be able to pay it out over a longer period of time than the maximum of 5 years allowed under a Chapter 13 plan.
