In an adversary proceeding to determine whether a debt owed to the State of Nebraska, acting through the Department of Health and Human Services, was discharged in the debtor's previous pre-BAPCPA Chapter 13 case, the State failed to meet its burden of proof by showing that the debt was one for support that had been assigned to the State. Accordingly, the debt did not fall within the discharge exception of ยง 523(a)(5) and it was discharged.
