Non-Dischargeable Debt & Bankruptcy - Child Support

Court-ordered child support is a non-dischargeable debt in a bankruptcy case. Additionally, divorce and property settlements are not able to be discharged – unless the other party agrees to it. Child support is also a protected asset if you are filing for bankruptcy and are receiving child support payments. This means that the money you receive for child support is exempt from being used to pay off creditors.

The Stone Law Firm is here to help if you are considering filing for bankruptcy and are currently paying or receiving child support. Depending upon your particular situation, a Salt Lake City bankruptcy lawyer at our firm can give you advice and guidance applicable to your needs and concerns.

Our skilled attorneys represent clients throughout all of Salt Lake City, Ogden and Provo, Utah, and we offer a free initial case evaluation to help you get started.
