Some individuals who file for bankruptcy are behind on their alimony and child support payments, along with their debts. While bankruptcy can get rid of some or all of their debts, it cannot erase alimony and child support payments.
This means that filers cannot get out of paying for past or future alimony and support payments. However, because filers can get out of debt payments, they will have more available funds to cover their alimony and child support payments.
