It sounds like your question relates to an overpayment in child support. The dischargeability of an overpayment of child support would be questionable, because it may be found to fall under 11 U.S.C. � 523(a)(5) and 11 U.S.C. � 523(a)(15), in the nature of child support, and thus non-dischargeable.

Social Security income should continue after filing and discharge.

You have a number of specific issues that this general information cannot fully address. This is not legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. My firm only practices in Eastern and Central Pennsylvania, as well as New Jersey. You should talk to a qualified local bankruptcy attorney immediately.
