AnswerAttorneys fees do not receive any special treatment and are dischargeable in bankruptcy.

They may receive special treatment where they were awarded as part of a divorce or separation agreement. If the attorneys fees are found to be in the nature of a support obligation then they will not be discharged as part of the bankruptcy.
