Are all of my debts canceled (discharged) by the Bankruptcy Court?

No, certain debts are not canceled (discharged) by the US Bankruptcy Court. Examples could include taxes, school loans, debts resulting from fraud, alimony and child support payments. Other debts are canceled (discharged) only if your petition is approved by the US Bankruptcy Court.

Specific questions you have should be directed to an attorney or financial advisor. The Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court can answer questions about court procedures for you but is prohibited by law from giving legal advice.
