CAN CHILD SUPPORT DELINQUENCY PAYMENTS BE REDUCED?
Child support obligations cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. However, child support delinquencies are often being collected by ways of forced payment in addition to the normal monthly support. The extra amounts paid towards delinquencies are often excessive and almost impossible to afford. In a Chapter 13, it may be possible to spread repayment of these child support delinquencies over a period of up to five years. This frequently results in significantly lower monthly payments. You should consult with us for advice on your individual situation.
