Question:

Family support obligations will almost always remain after a bankruptcy case. Generally speaking, alimony as well as child support obligations will not be discharged in any type of bankruptcy. Even so, you may be able to get the court to modify the payments to reflect your recent change in financial situation.

If you do choose to file for bankruptcy, all your other unsecured debts will likely be erased making it easier to keep up on your spousal support requirements.

Talk to a Bankruptcy Lawyer to find out what options you have for getting rid of debt and modifying your family support obligations.

Good luck.
