Re: Subject: Dischargeability of court-ordered restitution to assault victim
Not dischargeable. There is an exception to discharge for court-ordered restitution, as well as an exception for willful and malicious injury, which would include assault. Even under the superdischarge provisions of Chapter 13, restitution is not dischargeable.
