Re: Child support and Bankruptcy
Child support is not dischargeable. Someone who files bankruptcy must list all creditors on his/her petition, which is why you (or your spouse) received a notice in the mail so that you were aware of the filing. If you have any further questions about this, feel free to give me a call.
