Bankruptcy: Marital Settlement Agreement – Hold Harmless Provision – Dischargeability

Wallace v. Marble (MLW No. 60454/Case No. 09-6079 – 6 pages) (U.S. Bankruptcy Appellate Panel, Kressel, C.J.)

Where a debtor and his ex-wife were sued for breach of an indemnity agreement, and the  debt under the indemnity agreement had been discharged in his bankruptcy case, the bankruptcy court did not err in finding that the debtor must indemnify the ex-wife under the hold harmless provision of their marital settlement agreement.

Judgment is affirmed.
