In re Knox
May
23
2007
Ruling
Obligation to pay credit card debt pursuant to divorce decree was not a domestic support obligation and was dischargeable.
Procedural posture
Bankruptcy debtors proposed a chapter 13 plan which provided for payment of debt arising from one debtor's prior divorce proceedings as general unsecured debt. The debtor's former spouse objected to confirmation of the debtors'plan on the ground that the debt was entitled to priority treatment under 11 U.S.C. § 507(a)(1) as a domestic support obligation.
