Unless there are other lawsuits, most attorneys don't search for criminal cases in your history. Even if you have a criminal case, it doesn't affect your eligibility for bankruptcy.

The is "probably" not dischargeable, and therefore not an issue in your case.

Unlikely, so I suggest you provide your bankruptcy attorney with this information before filing so you do not subsequently get cited by the bankruptcy court for failing to list all of your debts.

Probably not. Moreover, it is unlikely you will ever see the bankruptcy judge just your trustee.
