Yes, you can include them in chapter 13 plan in NJ, BUT unless you pay them in full through the chapter 13 plan you will not get a discharge (i.e., get your debts wiped out in bankrutpcy). In addition, there are a number of exceptions to the automatic stay for child support debts. You should hire a bankruptcy lawyer. The issues are too complex to do it yourself.
