In re OBrien

Ruling
Court refrained from ruling on the requested relief from an automatic stay pending further hearing on whether the fee awards qualifed as domestic support obligations.
Procedural posture

Movants, the debtor's former wife and the debtor's former counsel, filed separate motions for relief from the stay imposed after the debtor filed for bankruptcy relief. The movants sought relief from the stay, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362(b)(2)(B), to enforce fee awards that had been issued as part of post-divorce litigation in the state family court.
