Nondischargeable debt

A nondischargeable debt is a debt that cannot be cleared away -- in legal terms, "discharged" -- after filing for bankruptcy. Examples of such debt vary between Chapter 11 and Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but both include family support, unpaid taxes and fines related to criminal charges.
