Can ex file on child support???

My sisters ex is in debt and claims he is fileing on the back child support he owes. Can he do this? Also how many times can you file? He has filed two chapter 13s and a chapter 7. He claims he is fileing again.
Thanks-ashrum- TENNESSEE

Read the Bankruptcy section located at the freeadvice.com homepage.

WHAT DEBTS ARE NOT DISCHARGED BY BANKRUPTCY?
In general liens (such as mortgages and security interests in cars) are non-dischargeable as are some other types of obligations including:

Federal, state and local tax claims (subject to specific time rules)

Customs duties

Spousal support

Child support

Most student loans

Secured debts

Fines and penalties imposed by government agencies

Debts incurred due to false statements made with the intent to deceive

Fraud committed in a fiduciary capacity, such as embezzlement or larceny

Punitive damage claims for "willful and malicious" acts

Debts not list on the forms filed with the Court

Drunk driving obligations

A non-dischargeable debt is one that will survive the bankruptcy proceeding. The debtor still has the obligation to pay this debt; the creditor has every right to collect.

Thanks... Can he keep fileing like he does to get out of debt????

No. Because if he files fraudulently (which it sounds like he is doing), he can be in big trouble!
