Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Michigan

Bankruptcy discharge of debt owed to an individual

A wife leaves her husband and proceeds to accrue several thousand $ on cards in his name. Her repayment of these debts was required per the divorce agreement. Once he takes her to court for nonpayment of both this debt and back child support, she files bankruptcy. He's been told that he'll never see the money for the debt since she's filed and its not typically spousal support. Are there any laws protecting individuals from being left with another's debt in cases like this --name removed--corporation has insurance and other means to handle--name removed--debtor filing, but in individual is left high and dry). Does this fall under 'debt accrued with malicious itent'?

I assume that this matter is pending in Michigan. You should contact a Michigan bankruptcy attorney as soon as possible, and certainly within the dates set forth in the bankruptcy notice, to file an Adverse complaint. Good Luck!
