Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Yes unless it is a judgment for a debt in which there were proven allegations of fraud, intentional injury by you or accident injuries where you were DUI, if the judgment creditor objects to your discharge.

Make sure you hire an experienced bankruptcy attorney near your home.
