while BK law protects the right to receive support - BK law allows states to include / exclude support payments as income. Depends on your state.

My ex owes me over $30K in past due reimbursements for our children (the lack of payment contributed to the mess I'm in now). A lawyer told me that I shouldn't bother to go after the money owed as it will just go to my creditors. Is that correct? Child support owed to me and the children will go to my creditors?
