- Divorce
- Child SupportForgiven debts: Many types of debt can be forgiven. This is called a discharge. You may be able to discharge credit card debts, medical bills, and other unsecured debts. Some of the many debts you cannot discharge include student loans, child support, and some taxes.
- Spousal SupportSome debts are nondischargeable, meaning they cannot be forgiven. Some of the debts that are not forgiven include student loans, child support, alimony, some taxes, debts in bad faith and other debts not on the petition. In addition, bankruptcy does not waive the rights of secured creditors. For example, if you owe money on your house or car, you will have to pay these debts or return the property in question.
