In re Bishop
Apr
14
2009
Ruling
Payments clearly intended as property settlement rather than support were dischargeable.
Procedural posture
The debtor's former spouse objected to confirmation of the debtor's chapter 13 plan. The debtor objected to the proofs of claim filed by his former spouse, asserting that her claims should be paid as priority claims that were in the nature of child support or maintenance and, thus, non- dischargeable pursuant to the provisions of 11 U.S.C.S. § 523(a)(5).
