A: Generally, divorce obligations will not be discharged in bankruptcy. It depends on the particular obligation. For example, are you seeking to discharge child support? If yes, the Court will not be likely to discharge that responsibility. However, if you have other unsecured debt that makes it difficult to meet your support obligations, bankruptcy could eliminate those responsibilities, making it easier to meet your support obligations.
