Would you have to pay this?

If you are accused of doing something & a judge orders you to pay restitution then can you add it to your bankruptcy Chapter 7 that you plan on filing? I did speak with an attorney & was told that back child support, back taxes & student loans are the only things not allowed to be placed in a bankruptcy. This restitution situation is new so I wondered if I go ahead with a Chapter 7 (which I qualify for) then can this be added to it.

    No, you cannot add court-ordered charges to a Chapter 7

    The following are NOT discharged by chapter 7:

    Injury caused by a willful or malicious act, such as assault

    fraud used to obtain money, goods or services, such as lying on a credit application, or

    fraud committed while in a position of trust, such as embezzlement while acting as a trustee or guardian.
