they won't, and she can'tI just don't understand how a BK court will let you write off court imposed debts for all the time-wasting and lying she did pre and during the murder trial.
I mean, what is the point of imposing these fines/costs if everyone can avoid them by filing bankruptcy!
Debts That Are Always Nondischargeable
Some types of debts are deemed nondischargeable if they fall within one of a list of prescribed categories. Debts falling in one of these categories do not require a court hearing to determine dischargeability status.
Unless the debtor can demonstrate extraordinary circumstances to override public policy, the following debts are deemed automatically nondischargeable:
unscheduled debts (any debts the debtor fails to list on the bankruptcy petition or include on the mailing list), unless the creditor had actual notice or knowledge of the bankruptcy filing. Also, many jurisdictions allow discharge of otherwise dischargeable debts not listed in the petition due to an innocent mistake when there are no assets to distribute
certain taxes (for details, see Tax Debts in Bankruptcy)
debts for spousal or child support or alimony
debts to government agencies for fines and penalties
student loans (with a few rare exceptions)
debts for personal injury caused by the debtors operation of a motor vehicle while intoxicated
debts owed to certain tax-advantaged retirement plans
debts for certain condominium or cooperative housing fees (such as homeowners association fees)
attorney fees in child custody and support cases
court fines and penalties, including criminal restitution
Grounds for Denial of a Chapter 7 Discharge
In Chapter 7 cases, the debtor does not have an absolute right to a discharge. In order to receive a discharge, debtors must abide by the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Section 727(a) of the Bankruptcy Code outlines a list of reasons why the court may deny a Chapter 7 discharge -- all of these have to do with the debtor's obligation to comply with certain rules or bankruptcy procedures. If the debtor fails to follow certain rules or provide information, a creditor, the bankruptcy trustee, or the U.S. trustee may object to the entire Chapter 7 discharge. If the court agrees and denies the Chapter 7 discharge, it is possible that none of your debts will be discharged, even those that are otherwise dischargeable.
The court may deny a Chapter 7 discharge if you:
do not provide requested tax documents
don't complete a course on personal financial management
transfer or hide property in order to defraud or hinder your creditors
destroy or hide books or records
commit perjury or other fraudulent acts in connection with your bankruptcy case
cannot account for lost assets
violate a court order
previously filed a bankruptcy case and were granted a discharge, within certain time frames, depending on the type of bankruptcy filed
