Child's father filed for Chpter 13 Bankruptcy- can I still establish a support order

Asked in Denver, CO - almost 4 years

I am in the middle of a law suite with my ex to establish a support order for my daughter. She is almost 7 and he has never paid a dime. He knows that he is about to have a huge amount of arrears to pay, so he filed for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. Will him filing make any kind of difference to our current case? Also, I am listed as a creditor on his chapter 13 because I filed a civil suite for unpaid medical bills for our daughter. Can he get that judgment discharged, as it is part of our support order that he pay half? When I file the claim, should I let his attorney know that I am currently trying to establish support?
