None. Child support cannot be bankrupted by a party owing it. In addition, child support arrears are considered vested once they are past due and owed. Accordingly, the bankruptcy code will not allow any arrearages or ongoing obligation to be bankrupted. However, if a party goes though bankruptcy he or she may file a motion to modify the child support obligation and claim financial circumstances require his or her obligation to be reduced or terminated.
