Chicago and Illinois U.S. Bankruptcy Lawyer
If you are considering filing for bankruptcy as a means of reducing or eliminating your child support or spousal maintenance obligations in your divorce judgment, you may be faced with a surprise. Under Illinois and federal bankruptcy laws, support obligations are generally not considered eligible for elimination under Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to include your obligation arrears as part of a debt reorganization plan under Chapter 13.
Divorce and child support obligations are debts that the courts will require you to pay. The rules are complex and circumstances often vary from case to case. Before you make any assumptions about your financial obligations, talk to an experienced Illinois bankruptcy attorney who understands the courts in local bankruptcy and family law courts throughout the Chicago metro region and Illinois.
