Bankruptcy questions

I’m thinking about bankruptcy as a last resort, my income from employment is about £1500 and about the same total from UC because our rent element is high and we have kids.
I want to know if our income is too low compared to outgoings so our debts get rotten off completely or if we will be expected to keep paying a little?
has anybody got a link to an example max expenses allowed for each thing for a family

There are no allowances as such..there are trigger amounts which are not public knowledge...although we do have posters on here that deal with that daily.
