Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Utah
Recovering fees from an adversary proceeding back in state court
My ex-spouse filed bankruptcy after our divorce. I have a hold harmless clause in the decree. I was forced to file adversary proceeding 523(a)15 to stop the discharge of one joint debt. I prevailed. Can I recoup my attorney fees back in the state court, under the hold harmless agreement, or is this out of the state court's jurisdiction?
