Nondischargeable Debt

Some debts simply cannot get discharged in a bankruptcy proceeding. This nondischargeable debt includes:

  • Student loans
  • Some tax debt
  • Customs debts
  • Child or spousal support
  • Some personal injury judgments
  • Debt related to fraud committed by the debtor

An Example for Context

Blake and Crystal* have serious financial problems for a number of reasons. Blake is a life-long learner and has accrued $80,000 in student loan debt. Blake and Crystal were particularly concerned about paying off that debt when, out of the blue, Blake was diagnosed with a serious disease. He had substantial medical bills and the couple paid for them with credit cards, accruing $120,000 in debt. In addition to the student loan and medical debt, Blake was married previously and pays child support in the amount of $300 per month to support his two children. If Blake and Crystal want to file for bankruptcy, the student loan debt and the child support are nondischargeable debt. However, the medical debt could be wiped away if Blake and Crystal met the requirements for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. However, under federal bankruptcy, in some cases a debt that was once nondischargeable can be made dischargeable by showing a serious and debilitating hardship.

Testimonials

I couldn't have prayed for a better law firm than Sulaiman Law Group. I found your team to be congenial, professional and consistently available throughout the process. I only wish I had found you sooner. I will highly recommend your firm to any and everyone!

Wow. An honest, ethical attorney who actually cares about people. I know, how can that be. Well, you need to talk to Ahmad Sulaiman to find out.

He has literally saved my life; and, that is not a metaphor. His office has fought for me where few firms in the country could have had any success; and, I am able to look forward with some hope.

You can be certain that, if you are not an attorney, whatever you THINK you know about the law, you are probably GUARANTEED to be completely wrong in your assessment. Consult with an attorney who actually cares, tempered with being brilliant.

I could not be in better hands; and, words do not describe how differently my life would have been had I not met Ahmad Sulaiman. It was literally an answer to a prayer. By Glen S

Ahmad is a real gem in the legal profession. I strongly recommend him.

Mr. Mohammed Badwan is an excellent, sincere and knowledgeable attorney. He is always on top of negotiations with creditors and gets back to you promptly to give you any updates.. He makes you feel very comfortable and stays with you as a good legal advisor through the entire process.

As a healthcare professional and business owner myself, I am very sensitive to the minute details with the quality of overall service- work ethics, professionalism and the team effort put in to achieve client's goals and satisfaction. I will give this group an A+ and wish them success and bright future. Keep up the good work....
