Paul Ruitenberg, III v.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• 11 USC 523[a][15] “provides, unqualifiedly, that a property settlement obligation . . . is nondischargeable”
• in bankruptcy context, spouse’s “claim” before the divorce judgment was “at the least, unliquidated and contingent on a final decree apportioning marital property, perhaps unmatured, and likely disputed,” but nevertheless was “literally [] a ‘claim’”
• “[T]he contingent nature of the right to payment does not change the fact that the right to payment exists . . . and thereby constitutes a ‘claim’ for purposes of § 101(5).” (alteration and omission in original) (citation omitted)
