Bryan L. Brost v. Teri R. Brost (In re Teri R Brost)

Bankr. No.: 
99-40599
Adv. No.: 
99-4020
Chapter: 
7
Date of Decision: 
January 4, 2000
Issue: 
Whether divorce-related debts were dischargeable under § 523(a)(15)(B)?
Ruling: 
Debts were declared dischargeable. Benefits to Debtor in receiving a discharge of the divorce-related debts outweighed detriments to Debtor’s ex-spouse if he had to assume sole responsibility for the joint debts. Most significant factor was disparity between the parties’ respective living standards and the ex-spouse’s ability to pay the debts over time without significant consequence to himself, his family, or his business.
