Hi. It's Brian Winters. The answer is that it depends upon chapter 7 vs 13.
In a 13, but not a 7, a debtor may discharge equitable distribution.
I have the circumstance pending now. I represent the chapter 13 debtor and
we are discharging e.d , right along with taxes and some dui surcharges
I'd like to see the psa, but , yeah, that's the deal.

In order to finalize equitable distribution, client would need to bring
$47,000 to the closing on the former marital residence. He doesn't have it
except by invading a retirement account.
The funds owed to the ex are not child support, alimony, nor counsel fees
used to secure them. Would bankruptcy potentially help? I know they've
tightened up what constitutes a non-dischargeable "domestic support
obligation", but I'm not clear whether there's still an ability to discharge
equitable distribution.
Anyone know? And/or know someone who dual specializes in Family and
bankruptcy and could review the options with the client?
Thanks,
