Divorce
Child Support
Except for divorce related and child support garnishments, filing a Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy will stop all pending wage and non-wage garnishments. In the event that a Turn-Over Order has been signed by a judge ordering your employer to turn over withheld wages to a creditor, then that money cannot be recovered for you. If a Turn-Over Order has not been signed by a judge, you are entitled to the amount withheld as long as it is within your bankruptcy exemption amounts.
Spousal Support
Back child support and maintenance (commonly referred to as alimony) are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. At times there is a question as to whether a payment to an ex-spouse is maintenance or whether it is part of a property settlement. In the event that the payment is determined to be a part of a property settlement, that amount is dischargeable. However, if the amount is determined to be maintenance, the payment is not dischargeable. In making that determination, the Bankruptcy Court will look to the substance of the payment and not to the label attached to the payment in the divorce decree.

Traffic Violations
Traffic tickets, fines, penalties and other punitive payments to cities, states and/or the federal government are generally not dischargeable in a bankruptcy.

Personal Injury
I want to file bankruptcy but I have a personal injury case pending and I believe I am going to get a big settlement from that case. What will happen to my settlement?

Bankruptcy
Generally, under a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you are able to keep all of your possessions, including your house and your vehicles. However, if you plan on keeping your house and vehicles, you are required to continue making the payments on them. You must list all of your bills on a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. You still have the option of paying any bill that you wish to pay, even though you have filed bankruptcy on the other bills.
Foreclosure
There are several benefits to filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. One important benefit is that you can stop a foreclosure on your home or stop a bank from repossessing your car. Chapter 13 allows you to catch up on past due house payments or car payments so that you will not lose your home or your car. Another important benefit is that you can stop your creditors from harassing you even though you may have previously filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Chapter 13 also protects co-signers.
