Is an employee who has declared bankruptcy still liable for child support payments?
A. Yes. Even though an employee declares bankruptcy, he/she is still obligated to pay child support. Debts due for delinquent child support are not discharged in bankruptcy actions. An employer may be notified, however, that it is no longer responsible for withholding the payments because a trustee of the bankruptcy court may take over this task. Continue withholding until you receive official notification from the child support enforcement agency or bankruptcy court.
