an order given by the bankruptcy judge, at the conclusion of all legal steps in
processing a bankrupt person's assets and debts, which forgives those remaining
debts which cannot be paid, with certain exceptions. Debts for fraudulent or illegal
actions, alimony and child support and taxes are not dischargeable and remain owed
(but often not collectible if the bankrupt person has nothing). A discharge in bankruptcy
is bad news for unsecured creditors.
