Nondischargeable Debts

Nondischargeable debts are financial obligations that cannot be eliminated or erased through bankruptcy. Common examples include student loans, certain taxes, child support, and government fines. Even if someone files for bankruptcy, they must continue to repay these debts. The concept exists to ensure that critical obligations, particularly those supporting families and public interests, remain enforceable even in financial distress. Understanding this can help individuals facing financial difficulties know which debts they can address in bankruptcy and which will continue to require payment afterward.
