Bankruptcy is a Federal process and has no effect on child support. Bankruptcy does not dismiss child support debts.
No. Child support is not dischargeable in either federal or state bankruptcy.

Yes; child support is not affected by or discharged in bankruptcy.
Age 19.
You can still remarry but you will still owe the child support arrears.
no it will stay with you forever like student loans
No, child support doesn't stop. Quitting school does not emancipate a minor.
yes in the state of ri
Not legally. The state takes over the claim.
It's not automatic. I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency.
When you file for bankruptcy, you are required to list ALL debts you owe. However, child support or alimony (called Domestic Support) are NOT discharged in a bankruptcy. In a Chapter 7 - this debt survives your discharge. In a 13 - you probably can pay back the arrears over time, but you have to make the required monthly payment to the Child support agency for current support AND the trustee payment for the back support. I would seek the advice of an attorney that specializes in Bankruptcy to see if this is an option for you.
It's likely that one or more States has notified the US State Department of your child support arrearage and, if so, you will not receive a passport. Child support debt is not discharged in bankruptcy.
