Court sustained the debtor's objection to priority status of claim held by the debtor's former spouse. Debtor asserted that the claim was not entitled to priority status because the debt stemmed from a property settlement agreement pursuant to their divorce. Based on evidence presented, the Court could not find that agreement to pay joint debts was in the nature of alimony, maintenance, or support under section 507(a)(1)(A) and thus was not a domestic support obligation as defined in section 101(14A).
