No your pension should not be at risk by filing a bankruptcy. It will be taken into account when determining the amount you are required to pay each month, but assuming the pension is set up correctly is protected (considered exempt from seizure) and you shouldn’t need to worry. To get an idea of what that monthly cost of the bankruptcy will be I suggest you contact a local trustee.
