11 U.S.C. § 112 — Prohibition on disclosure of name of minor children

submitted 21 years ago by Pub. L. 109-8 to r/title-11-BANKRUPTCY · 117 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This bankruptcy law protects a minor child's name from public court records. The debtor can still be required to disclose the child's name privately to the court, the trustee, and the U.S. trustee, but those officials must keep it confidential.

A debtor may be required to give the court information about a minor child involved in the bankruptcy case, but can't be forced to reveal that child's name in the public case record. Instead, the debtor may be required to disclose the child's name only in a nonpublic record the court keeps, which is available for review by the United States trustee, the trustee, and the auditor serving under 28 U.S.C. § 586(f), if there is one, in the case. The court, the United States trustee, the trustee, and that auditor are all barred from disclosing the child's name kept in that nonpublic record.

The court, the United States trustee, the trustee, and such auditor shall not disclose the name of such minor child maintained in such nonpublic record.
