Dealing With Nondischargeable Debts
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a great way to reduce or eliminate many debts. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy can help discharge credit card debts, medical debts and many other types of unsecured debt.
However, there are some debts that are difficult or impossible to discharge through bankruptcy. Debts that are difficult or impossible to discharge include:
- Student loans
- Child support arrears
- Certain types of taxes owed to the government

Managing Specific Nondischargeable Debts
When it comes to nondischargeable debts such as student loans, child support arrears, and certain types of taxes, there are specific strategies you can consider:
- For student loans, you may be eligible for income-driven repayment plans, loan consolidation, or even loan forgiveness programs, depending on your situation and eligibility.
- For child support arrears, you might be able to negotiate a payment plan or seek a modification of the support order if your financial situation has significantly changed.
- For tax debts owed to the government, options such as setting up an installment agreement with the IRS or applying for an offer in compromise may be available.
These arrangements can help manage payments in a way that aligns with your financial capacity. We can help explore these options to find the best course of action for you.
