No...child support obligations may not be discharged in bankruptcy...out of the courts authority. There is virtually no legal way to escape your obligation on this. The Feds will withhold any benefit you may have coming, even well in the future (like Social Security, taxes, etc) to pay it back. And of course, they are YOUR kids...unfortunate they ended up with a morally bankrupt parent that wants to financially bankrupt them too.
