In 2005 Title 11 of the U.S. Code was modified. The changes were far reaching and significant. One of those changes prohibited the discharge, in a Chapter 7 Petition, of debts and obligations owed to former spouses and/or children as a result of divorce.
However, by choosing to file under Chapter 13 those debts or obligations not considered "Domestic Support Obligations" are dischargeable.
