In re Ludwig

Ruling: 
Debt to former spouse based on property settlement agreement that waived alimony or support was not entitled to priority status.
Procedural posture: 
A chapter 13 debtor objected to the priority status of a claim held by his former spouse. The debtor asserted that her claim was not entitled to priority status under 11 U.S.C.S. § 507(a)(1)(A) because it stemmed from a property settlement agreement, while his former spouse alleged that it was based on a domestic support obligation that was in the nature of alimony, support, or maintenance.
