One To Be Published Family Law Opinion Issued By Ky COA June 12, 2009

Howard v. Howard
The issues presented here are whether the trial
court was clearly erroneous in its determination that Appellant was voluntarily
underemployed, thereby justifying the trial court’s refusal to modify its prior child
support order; and whether the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer
Protection Act of 2005, 11 U.S.C. Sections 523(a)(5) and (15), precludes discharge
in bankruptcy of Appellant’s obligation to pay for the Dodge Durango automobile
as required by the court’s final decree. Digest to follow.
