Can back child support, car loan and payday loan be included in chapter 13?

Answered by attorney Alan Emmerson Ramos (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Alan E. Ramos Law Offices
All of your debt, and that of your husband, needs to be listed in your bankruptcy petition. The child support is non-dischargeable, so not only must the arrears be paid in your plan, he will need to stay current during the pendency of your plan.

Can an unsecured note from a lender be discharged through bankruptcy? How?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Why would you think that this kind of debt would not be eligible to be discharged? The law that describes what debts cannot be eliminated in bankruptcy is contained in 11 USC sec 523. This law basically states that recent debts, debt related to having committed a crime, child support, alimony, taxes, and student loans cannot usually be eliminated in bankruptcy.
