Discharging Child Support and Alimony in Bankruptcy

Child support and/or alimony is often a large part of why some individuals are financially strapped, month after month. These payments are called “domestic support obligations,” according to bankruptcy law and are almost never discharged. There are very specific situations in which this debt can be discharged, and a significant amount of case analyzation must be done to determine whether this is possible.

Property Settlement is Dischargeable

Unlike alimony and child support, which is almost never dischargeable, property settlement agreements are dischargeable under Chapter 13 bankruptcy. This type of debt arises when a person owes an ex-spouse for a portion of an asset, such as a house or business. There is an immense amount of legal work put into determining whether a financial obligation to an ex-spouse is for a property settlement or for support (i.e., alimony and child support). Do not go at it alone. Our Indiana bankruptcy lawyers are waiting to serve your needs and answer your bankruptcy questions. We can make it easier for you to get financially stable once again.
