What to do if I received notification that my ex-husband is filing for Chapter 7 but he is under court order to pay me child support and half of any medical bills for our daughter?
Not sure why I received this when you cannot include child support in bankruptcy. Is there anything I need to do with this notification?

You were notified because you have a debt that can not be discharged in bankruptcy. You and your daughter are protected. However, I would file a notice of appearance and maybe even go to the first creditor's meeting so that everyone - trustee, attorney, judge - know you know what is going on and you are not waiving your right to notification. Good luck.
