Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Illinois
Bankruptcy Filing with Child Support.
A employee currently has child support orders and is making payroll deductions for them per the court order.
A Bankruptcy order is received stating Chapter 13 has been filed by the employee. Is there a limit to what can be taken for this order? Since the employee filed it, can the employee be left with a $50.00 check or a $0.00 check?

Re: Bankruptcy Filing with Child Support.
Normally, the judge in the Chapter 13 will set a monthly payment which allows the debtor to remain current in his alimony-child support, and also provide enough for himself to live on.
Whatever order the bankruptcy judge gives must, of course, be obeyed. If the debtor feels the payment is too high, it is for him and his lawyer to take proper actions.
