The debtor’s former spouse initiated an adversary proceeding against the debtor to determine whether the debtor’s obligation under a marital settlement agreement to hold him harmless on certain joint liabilities was excepted from discharge under 11 U.S.C. §§ 523(a)(5) and (a)(15). On a motion for summary judgment, the court found that the debt owed by the debtor to her former spouse was nondischargeable under § 523(a)(5).
