Bankruptcy does not discharge (wipe away) domestic support obligations, including children's medical bills ordered in a divorce/dissolution.

Payment of the children's medical debts is considered to be a form of child support. Child support is not eligible to be eliminated through any type of bankruptcy and is also considered a priority debt.
