Generally, Bankruptcy will not wipe out child support obligations. However, Bankruptcy can make it easier to pay child support obligations and get caught up on any past due child support you may owe. Bankruptcy may make it easier to pay child support obligations by eliminating certain other types of debt you owe. For example, if you are currently paying credit card debt, housing expenses, and child support you can potentially rid yourself of the credit card debt. By eliminating the credit card debt you may have more money available to pay your child support obligations.
If you have specific questions on whether bankruptcy is right for you and your situation, please call the law offices of Lee Cossell Kuehn & Love, LLP at (317) 631-5151 for a free consultation.
