Can a spouse bankrupt his alimony obligations?
If the payor spouse files for personal bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, then any alimony, maintenance, or support obligations that are paid to a former spouse under a separation agreement or a divorce decree are not dischargeable. In short, a husband can’t wipe off an alimony obligation in a bankruptcy case.
