In re Angelo

Ruling
Postpetition contempt order for debtor's failure to comply with domestic support order was not subject to stay.
Procedural posture
After the ex-wife of a chapter 13 debtor won a state court judgment holding him in contempt for his failure to comply with certain orders made in the parties' divorce, debtor moved the court to vacate the judgment on the ground that it was entered in violation of the automatic stay in 11 U.S.C.S. § 362. A central issue was whether the contempt order related to a "domestic support obligation" (DSO) within the meaning of 11 U.S.C.S. § 101(14A).
