Answer to Question 1

Certain debts are never discharged and the debtor is fully liable for the debts even after receiving a discharge from the bankruptcy court. These types of debts are generally denied a discharge based on public policy reasons. In this example, the child support and alimony, the liabilities for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence, and school loans guaranteed by the government (unless undue hardship can be established) are nondischargeable debts. Bankruptcy has no effect on these debts. The unpaid rent and phone bill generally will be discharged.

Answer to Question 2

D
