Unless it's a judgment for driving under the influence, child support, and some other exceptions, the answer is yes. Often, that's what drives people into bankruptcy.

If you need help in preparing a BK, please let me know directly.

Re: civil judgement

Chances are probably yes. The determinative factor is what the judgment is for. If it involves fraud, child support or other issues that are non-dischargeable, then no otherwise yes.

Feel free to contact me to discuss and review.

Good Luck.
