Bankruptcy during spousal/child support payments?
What happens to an individual who is out of a job now and is preparing to claim bankruptcy for credit card debts and still has to make the apporpriate payments as ordered by the court system but can’t afford to make them either?
The best thing you can do is to consult with a licensed trustee. Some trustees participate in the Bankruptcy Assistance Program where the cost of a bankruptcy may be reduced. However, in most cases the cost of the bankruptcy is based on the rules set out by the government, so a no cost bankruptcy is very unusual.
