My husband owes child support from a previous marriage as the co borrower on our home can i file a chapter 13 and exclude his child support?

Your question is not clear. It seems you may be thinking you can somehow discharge your husband's child support obligation through your own bankruptcy proceeding.If your husband filed a Chapter 13, his child support obligation or arrears are not dischargeable. A Chapter 13 plan will require that child support obligations remain current throughout the life of the plan. The debtor cannot complete the plan and get a discharge unless all his domestic support obligations are up to date and paid in full.

Can you file bankruptcy against a divorce order in North Carolina?

Whether you can eliminate a debt that resulted from a divorce decree will depend on the type of debt. If you owe child support or alimony from a divorce then you will not be able to eliminate the debt in bankruptcy. If the divorce assigned some debt to you as part of the divorce and it was not assigned as child support or alimony then you may be able to eliminate the debt in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to eliminate debt assigned to you that is in the nature of a property settlement and not child support or alimony.

Can you file back child support in a bankruptcy in the state of Illinois?

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.
