A civil judgment is to take someone’s assets, which the creditor can still do in bankruptcy. It’s not to make someone the creditor’s permanent slave. As far as I know, only spousal support can do that.

In the US, federal student loans are also not dischargeable through bankruptcy.

> Just this month, a federal judge in New York discharged more than $220,000 in student loans for a borrower. In her ruling, Chief Bankruptcy Judge Cecelia Morris criticized the fact that even many lawyers "believe it impossible to discharge student loans." She added, "This Court will not participate in perpetuating these myths."
