Ruling
Tax reimbursement owed to former spouse was nondischargeable where debtor failed to demonstrate inability to pay or benefit of discharge outweighing harm to creditor.
Procedural posture
Appellant debtor filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy petition two years after divorcing appellee ex-husband. The ex-husband filed an adversary proceeding complaint, claiming that a marital debt was nondischargeable. The debtor appealed after the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Ohio issued an order finding that the debt was nondischargeable under former 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(15).
