The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey denied Katherine A. Griffin's Motion to Dismiss in adversary proceeding 25-01376, allowing Artur Koziol's Chapter 13 case to proceed with his complaint challenging the dischargeability of debt obligations arising from a 2019 divorce decree. The court, exercising jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1334(a) and 157(a), found that the adversary proceeding concerns core proceedings including determination of dischargeability of debts. The defendant had argued the debts were non-dischargeable alimony and domestic support obligations; the debtor contends certain obligations constitute property settlements rather than spousal support.
