Bankruptcy won’t eliminate child support or alimony payments, fines or some taxes. If you don’t list certain debt types they won’t be taken care of by the bankruptcy filing. Any loans that you got by knowingly giving false information to a creditor may not be discharged. Any debts resulting from “willful and malicious” harm would still be your responsibility.
Student loans are almost never dischargeable in a bankruptcy, except if the court decides that the payment would be an undue hardship. Also mortgages and other liens which are not paid in the bankruptcy case, unless you are surrendering the property. If the property was sold by the creditor then bankruptcy can eliminate any obligation that you may have had to pay the difference in the selling price.
