Re: child support and filling bankruptcy?
Child support is generally not dischargeable in bankruptcy. He might be able to work out a Chapter 13 plan which lets him spread out payments over a three to five year period. It is also possible that he is eligible for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy to discharge his other debts and then use the money he was paying on those debts to catch up on his child support.
