My daughter co signed on a house how will bankruptcy affect hr

Bankruptcy lawyer at Marion E. Ellington, Jr., Attorney at Law, P.C.
Co signers on notes are equally responsible for the debt.  If the other co signer does not pay, then the creditor will look to your daughter to make the payments.  The debt will be discharged in bankruptcy for the person filing, but not the other party, unless they too file for bankruptcy.

Can you be jailed for not paying a debt?

Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
There hasn't been prison for debtors in the U.S. since 1789 when the Constiution was adopted by the 13 Colonies (except for spousal/child support and fines which are different kinds of debts). I would laugh when the debt collectors tell you that you are going to jail for unpaid bills. It is a violatio of federal and California fair debt collection practices laws also.

Can arrears child support be included in chapter 13 and what legal advise can you give me?

Child support is not generally discharge able, seek to set aside the automatic stay in the bankruptcy court, that will proceed against him. As the rest of his creditors will be caught in the bankruptcy he should be able to pay you more. Use his play against him!
