Your question needs to provide more facts. Assuming that by "filed" you mean "discharged", my intuitive answer would be "why not." However, I would need more facts to figure out the answer.

I don't know what an order of equitable distribution is.
Were you divorced? Was this a law suit? You will have to contact a lawyer and bring that lawyer the papers which describe the distribution.

In a bankruptcy, the Court will look at the Equitable Distribution from another court. Certain parts of the equitable distribution can be discharged in Bankruptcy.

Your liability for an Equitable Distribution Order is NOT dischargeable in a Chapter 7 case, you would need to file a Chapter 13. You should consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney in your immediate area.
