Does child support fall under the guidlines of a creditor since it is a state agency and would i be exempt in paying child support if i filed?

Re: bankruptcy and child support
I don't think I understand your first question, but as to the second part, child support is never dischargeable under any chapter of bankruptcy, so you would need to keep making the payments.
Re: bankruptcy and child support
Unfortunately, child support payments are non-dischargeable. In some instances paying these payments through a chapter 13 plan (100% payment required) is beneficial to the debtor.
