Much depends on what the court-ordered payment is for. Generally, restitution cannot be discharged (eliminated) in any type of bankruptcy. Sometimes, you can pay it in a Chapter 13 payment plan, though. You should contact an experienced bankruptcy attorney if you have trouble paying the restitution to review your options.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy will usually not remove restitution. Since this is probably for fraud, you also won't get a discharge for any frauds you commit as long as the people you defrauded speak up.

You have not provided enough information to be able to answer your question. Was the restitution ordered because you were driving without insurance? Was there intoxication involved? Was there any malicious or willful behavior involved? Was it personal injury or property damage? You should consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney who can advise you specifically as to your particular situation.
