[CLBS] Bankruptcy and Divorce Decrees

[Jonathon Frantz]

Hi Everyone,

I have a question regarding the following situation:

Debtor obtained a divorce.  In the divorce, debtor was ordered to pay
community debts A, B, and C.  Debtor has filed for Ch. 7.  Debts A, B, and
C are included and discharged.  The creditors for those debts are now going
after ex-spouse.  The ex-spouse plans on filing a contempt motion in the
divorce.

I was recently told that the bankruptcy court's perspective on whether or
not contempt motions pursuant to a divorce decree are affected by the
stay/discharge injunction has changed.  However, I can't find any case law
supporting that.

Any direction as to Idaho's position (and whether its changed) would be
much appreciated.  Thank you.
