After filing bankruptcy and having discharge papers in hand can a divorce judge order you to pay ex-spouse for a debt that I included in my bankruptcy?

If the debt has been discharged, the Judge cannot order it be repaid. However, upon making equitable distribution of the marital assets, the 'repayment' can therein be disguised.
