Family Law

• Child Support
  Chapter 13 bankruptcy is commonly referred to as a reorganization or a wage-earner’s plan. A Chapter 13 debtor makes monthly payments to the bankruptcy trustee for a minimum of 3 years and a maximum of 5 years. However, do not confuse this with a repayment plan because very few cases pay all of the debts in full. Chapter 13 is a tool that can catch up on mortgage payments, pay tax debt or child support that will not be discharged, and pay off car loans at a discounted rate of interest.
