The debtors objected to a claim in the amount of $76,000. According to the proof of claim, the $76,000 claim is a priority claim for child support. The debtors scheduled the claim at $0 and the debtors' amended plan also estimates the claim at $0. The claim objection states that the child support issue is on appeal, and therefore, the amount is contingent, unliquidated, and disputed. The Court held that the fact that a claim is contingent or unliquidated is not a basis for disallowing the claim. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 502(c)(1), the debtors are required to estimate the claim, as failure to do so would unduly delay the administration of the case. Therefore, the Court overruled the debtors' claim objection.
