In re Poole

Ruling
Credit card debt, attorneys' fees and promissory note owed to former spouse were not domestic support obligations.
Procedural posture

Creditor, the former wife of the debtor, filed an objection to confirmation of the chapter 13 plan of the debtor. The issue was whether the debtor's obligation to pay the former wife three different debts under the parties' divorce decree constituted priority "domestic support obligations"as defined by 11 U.S.C. § 101(14)(A).
