Re: Child support and bankruptcy

A bankruptcy proceeding can last as long as three years, and can stay all claims against the bankrupt person. However, there all ways around this. You could petition the court for a release from the stay, or if he didn't name you as a creditor, then you can go ahead and pursue your claim. Feel free to contact me if you need any help with regard to this matter.
