Discharge of student loans

Discharge of student loans throught a bankrupcty with an adversary. Where is this found in the bankrupcty laws?

Answer #1

Bankruptcy Code 11 USC 523: (a) A discharge … does not discharge an individual debtor from any debt-

(8) for an educational benefit overpayment or loan made, insured or guaranteed by a governmental unit, or made under any program funded in whole or in part by a governmental unit or nonprofit institution, or for an obligation to repay funds received as an educational benefit, scholarship or stipend, unless excepting such debt from discharge under this paragraph will impose an undue hardship on the debtor and the debtor’s dependents…

In other words…you can’t discharge a student loan unless you can prove that it will cause your life to be unbearable.
