Chapter:
7
Date of Decision:
November 13, 2000
Issue:
Whether certain debts the debtor was ordered to pay in her earlier divorce are non dischargeable under § 523(a)(15)?
Ruling:
The divorce-related debts were declared dischargeable under the exception provided by § 523(a)(15)(B) because the benefits of the debtor receiving a discharge outweighed the detriments to her former spouse if he had to repay the debts himself after the debtor's discharge.
