Can you file bankruptcy on back child support? Get the answers from a Phoenix bankruptcy lawyer now. Prioritize your child's welfare today.
Filing for bankruptcy won't eliminate your obligation to pay back child support. Under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, child support payments must continue. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows for a structured repayment plan, prioritizing child support over other debts. Failure to pay child support can result in severe consequences like wage garnishment, property liens, license suspension, and even jail time. While bankruptcy can help manage other debts, child support remains a priority and must be paid in full.
