Universal Card Services v. David Broderson (In re Broderson), A98-8057, BK98-80736, Ch. 7 04/22/1999
Debtor rejected lease, so its failure to perform obligation to remove & dispose of gasoline storage tanks & equipment, and contamination, was a breach of the lease and treated as a pre-petition claim
In pre-petition divorce proceedings, the husband was ordered to pay his former spouse's attorney fees. Such fees are in the nature of support under 11 U.S.C. section 523(a)(5) and are not dischargeable in the husband's Chapter 7 bankruptcy case
