I received some papers in the mail - Debtor's Declaration of Domestic Support Obligations. What does domestic support mean? Which box do I check?
In a Chapter 13, the Debtor's Declaration Regarding Domestic Support Obligations form is required in order to receive a discharge. Form B283 may be used by debtors to certify that they have complied with two of the requirements set out in section 1328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 1328(a), for a discharge in chapter 13. The certifications must be made after the debtor has completed the plan payments.
