Are there any debts that cannot be discharged in bankruptcy?

Yes, there are several types of debt that cannot be discharged in bankruptcy in Mississippi. These include certain types of taxes, student loans, alimony and child support, and debts from court ordered restitution and fines. Tax debt cannot be discharged in bankruptcy proceedings because it is an obligation owed to the government and deemed non-dischargeable. In addition, student loans cannot be discharged in bankruptcy unless the borrower can prove that the loan causes them to suffer from undue hardship. Alimony and child support payments are also non-dischargeable in bankruptcy. These are payments made to a spouse or partner, or for the care and support of dependent children, and the court will always prioritize these payments over any other. Finally, any court-ordered debts such as those resulting from a lawsuit or restitution, or imposed fines, can also not be discharged in bankruptcy. A debtor may only be able to pay back these debts according to an agreement with the creditor or through payments set up with the court. In Mississippi, these debts remain even after filing for bankruptcy.
