FAQ's on alimony
Generally, no. Spouses must continue to pay alimony even if they file bankruptcy.
This includes the payment of past due alimony. Section 523 is entitled “Exceptions to discharge.” A person cannot discharge (or get rid) of the debts listed in that section. Subsection (a)(5) states that a spouse cannot discharge a “domestic support obligation.”
The bankruptcy code defines domestic support obligation at 11 U.S.C. 101(14A), and it includes obligations that are in the nature of alimony, maintenance, or support of a spouse or former spouse.
Sometimes, parties will disagree with what is truly “alimony” or a domestic support obligation. For example, what if the state divorce court makes a spouse pay his or her spouses’ attorneys’ fees and costs in the divorce case?
If the bankruptcy court rules the a all or a portion of the alimony is not truly a domestic support obligation, then the spouse could possibly modify that obligation or get rid of it in the bankruptcy case. Click here to read our full blog article.
