When filing bankruptcy, can I put a toll violation of 750 dollars from 2006 on it?

[Kottonmouth]

it has my name and my daughters name on the violations.

You should include all your debts. Ask your lawyer -- you do have a lawyer, don't you?

Things like child support and taxes due IRS are exempt from bankruptcy. I'm not sure about toll violations.

you put all your debts on the petition let the reciever sort out which ones dont go on is the best way it is an offence not to list all your debts

In the case of Matter of Cuevas, 205 B.R. 457 (Bkrtcy. N.J. 1997), the U.S. Bankruptcy Court specifically held that a debtor can’t wipe out their municipal court fines in a bankruptcy case.

[Frank Castle]

No.

Shakr is correct.

Fines for violating the law: including criminal fines and traffic tickets, are not dischargable.

I am not sure why people think there is an option as to what goes on a bankruptcy and what doesn't. you MUST list all debts and assets on a bankruptcy. You don't get to pick and choose. You are committing bankruptcy fraud if you don't list something that you are legally required to list.

I suspect what you really want to know is if it is dischargeable. I think it might be, but I am not totally certain. Tolls are not a municipal court debt, they are a state highway debt, so I am not sure that shakr's case applies or not. I know that parking tickets are dischargeable, so in the same vane I think toll violations also are, but again I am not certain. Your daughter will still be liable even if you aren't.
