It is probable that I will be discharged soon. I have been able to determine the amount of my bonus that will have to be repaid. But I haven't been able to find how it will have to be repaid. Will it have to be a lump sum or will I be able to do payments? And would it be me sending a check(or something of the sort) or would it automatically be taken from any future checks/income that I recieve? Any answers or links to resources would be greatly appreciated.

I have been told that if you dont pay it its taken out of your taxes the next time you file, dont know how much truth there is to that.

Is this an involuntary discharge? Honorable or other than?

You'll have a debt against you from the government. You will not be writing checks (this is not a bill). Your wages, income and or tax returns will be garnished, just like it would happen if you did not pay your child support.
