Kinkade v. Kinkade

Debtor's ex-wife loaned him two sums of money to support his separate business. At issue was whether the debt was dischargeable in bankruptcy. The court affirmed the judgment of the bankruptcy court and concluded that the debt was nondischargeable under Section 523(a)(15) of the Bankruptcy Code, which left it to the state court to decide whether a property right was properly addressed in divorce proceedings, or as a separate contractual claim.
