Ruling
State could not reopen case for determination of dischargeability of child support which was barred by plan confirmation.
Procedural posture
The debtors filed for relief under chapter 13 and the case was closed in January, 2006. A creditor, the State of West Virginia, on behalf of a mother, sought to reopen the case to determine dischargeability of a child support obligation owed to the mother. Debtors sought an order to show cause why the State should not be held in contempt for taking action to collect the debt at issue.
