Re: child support
That depends on what kind of bankruptcy he filed. If he filed a chapter 13, he can include the child support. However, it is considered to be a priority claim and must be paid in full. The debt is not discharged, rather, he can extend paying the arrears over the period of the plan whcih can be as long as five years if I recall.
If he filed a chapter 7, he can not include child support in that.
