Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Florida

Child Support Arrearages and Bankruptcy

Can I include all Child Support arrearages if I file

for bankruptcy and will this put a ''stay'' on my

payment of CS until my bankruptcy is complete?

The Child Support order is in Oklahoma and I live in

Florida. I lost my job and have had to take another

paying over $10,000 less. I can barely pay my basic

bills and I have only $100 left in my savings and have

no money left to pay CS.

Re: Child Support Arrearages and Bankruptcy

You will probably have to return to family court to request a modification of your support obligations. C/s is non-dischagreable. If you file the automatic stay will apply, but upon application the court will, probably, lift the stay as to that obligation.
