As a general rule, the bankruptcy code will not let you discharge alimony, child support, a marital property settlement, or an agreement to pay marital (or the other parties') debt.

What court order? What does it have to do with your divorce?

Assuming that the court order you reference derives from the divorce and requires payment of child support, alimony or the like, generally, you cannot discharge those liabilities in a bankruptcy.
