Non-Dischargeable Debts

When you file for bankruptcy, most of your debts will be discharged, which means the debts are wiped out.

These include student loans, most federal, state and local taxes, money borrowed on a credit card to pay those taxes. child support, and alimony.

Debts that are otherwise dischargeable can become non-dischargeable if a creditor files an adversary proceeding against a debtor based on the debt being acquired by fraudulent acts,embezzlement, larceny or breach of fiduciary responsibility.
