The bankruptcy kills the judgment - does away with it.

Exceptions: If it's a judgent for child support, or a judgment for some kind of intentional conduct. There are actually 19 types of debt that are not discharged by a chapter 7 (see Section 727 of the bankruptcy code).

If it's a judgment for an ordinary debt, it is definitely wiped out.
