The Court held that (1) under 11 U.S.C. § 727(b), a Chapter 7 discharge discharges the debtor from all debts that arose before the date of the order for relief under Chapter 7, (2) under 11 U.S.C. § 348(a), the conversion of a case from a case under one chapter to a case under another chapter constitutes an order for relief, but does not change the date of the order for relief, and (3) an award made pursuant to a division of property is not in the nature of alimony, maintenance, or support and thus is not a domestic support obligation under 11 U.S.C. § 507(a)(7) entitled to priority status.
