In re Swonger

Ruling
Plan confirmed but relief from stay granted to debtor's former spouse to return to state court to establish nondischargeability of debtor's obligation to pay home equity loan.
Issue(s)
Was debtor's obligation to former spouse to pay a home equity line of credit a nondischargeable domestic support obligation and/or should relief from stay be granted to allow the spouse to seek clarification from the state court as to whether debtor's possible future failure to make payments would result in nondischargeable debt?
