I am filing bankruptcy next week but haven't spoken to an attorney yet. I've done research on my own but have one question that I cant seem to find a clear answer to. My ex took it upon herself to pay off debt that I was ordered to pay in our divorce decree and then sued me for reimbursement. I was ordered to pay her back plus attorney fees. Can this debt be included in my bankruptcy filing? -
