Just filed chapter 7 bankruptcy?

  • By: David Bliven

Q: Just filled chapter 7 bankruptcy and I have divorce pending at the court.. can the bankruptcy reduced the amount of child support payments… the child support is not order yet … but according to my income 17% for 1 child I will have to pay 1200 per month.

A: The bankruptcy in itself would not necessarily affect child support – as the latter deals with income, while the former deals with debts. That said, the bankruptcy itself may serve to “stay” – or pause – asset/debt distribution in the divorce case. You’re best advised to schedule a consult with a Bronx Divorce Attorney for a full assessment.
