In re Skeen (Case No. 04-03239) 08/11/2006

The Court held that the Debtor's obligation under his divorce decree, to hold his ex-wife harmless for debts related to a business he retained, were dischargeable under section 523(a)(15) and were actually discharged because the ex-wife failed to file an adversary proceeding to determine dischargeability within the time allowed by Rule 4007(b).  Because the Court determined that the ex-wife's actions, in violation of the discharge injunction, were taken in good faith, no sanctions were appropriate.
