Bankruptcy does not necessarily end the child support obligation. Child support arrears are not discharged by bankruptcy. In fact, a claim for child support makes the custodial parent a creditor and child support claims may be given priority over other creditors’ claims. It is a good idea for the child support agreement to state that bankruptcy will not end the child support obligation.
