Description

TURNER, J. -- Donna Edwards argues that the trial court erred in ruling a community debt from which her former husband, John Edwards, agreed to hold her harmless was discharged by Johns bankruptcy. She claims that Johns agreement was in the nature of an obligation for alimony, maintenance or support, which could not be discharged in bankruptcy. We hold that Johns agreement was not in the nature of alimony, maintenance or support because the circumstances do not suggest that assistance was intended by the court. Additionally, we affirm the trial courts denial of attorney fees for prior contempt proceedings because the relevant statute does not authorize attorney fee awards for prior proceedings.
