, A licensed trustee said:

Court ordered fines are generally not dischargeable in a bankruptcy. Back taxes are dischargeable in a bankruptcy.

If you have been charged and fined by the court, it is unlikely that these fines will be discharged in a bankruptcy. However, you should consult a trustee for further information, and to review your specific case.
