Is bankruptcy a better option if the amount gets to high as opposed to making minimum payments for the rest of my life?

It depends on your income whether you would qualify for a 7 or 13 but eventually you will get sued or you will have more interest than principal and never make any headway.

Can I file bankruptcy for back child support?

Richard Alan Alsobrook
Answered by attorney Richard Alan Alsobrook (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Alan Alsobrook
Typically, you cannot discharge child support in a bankruptcy.  Only in rare situations can a hardship be granted which would discharge back child support.  You should speak with a local bankruptcy attorney to determine if bankruptcy would be an appropriate course of action for your situation. This is not intended to be legal advice, and is general in its nature. No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information. Furthermore, this does not represent the views or opinions of LexisNexis or its affiliated companies.

I have a financed car for which I can't afford the payments. is voluntary repossession, or bankruptcy the better option?

Kevin Michael Cortright
Answered by attorney Kevin Michael Cortright (Unclaimed Profile)

Neither are optimum as they will both hurt your credit. If you just allow the repossession then the lender will likely file a lawsuit and obtain a deficiency judgment for the money that they lose when they sell the vehicle at auction.
