What is the name of your state Massachusetts


Long story short my looser ex wife pleaded guilty to over 30k of theft from a person over 65 by forged check. she was a licenced in home care taker working for an angency , she got 4 years probation ordered to pay back only $10,000 of it.

Judges’ statements to her, and entered into the docket was, “This restitution order does not prohibit the family from being able to pursue further restitution through civil action”

She says smugly that if they try she will just file bankruptcy…

Will this protect her? or will this not be allowed to be discharged like a credit card bill. She doesn’t own anything so there is nothing to put leans on.

Thanks!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
