So my husband used to be my boyfriend and we lived apart. I was getting public benefits (TANF) for our son while he was out of work and sick. They had back child support and TANF repayments calculated on him, which he eventually started paying.
Now we're married and no longer on TANF, the child support and back child support orders have been dropped but they are wanting the TANF payments which we are making. ITS NOT CHILD SUPPORT THOUGH.
So will the TANF repayment debt be discharged in bankruptcy? On our Credit Report its listed as "Indiana Child Support Bureau", but it is not child support, nor back child support.
We're in Indiana if that helps and I have gotten different answers from lawyers about this.

No debts relating to the government will be discharged in bankruptcy. You cannot file bk on student loans, back taxes, court judgments, child support, or any other money owed to a gov't entity.
