Christine Carman v. Gary Lee Carman (In re Gary Lee Carman), Ch. 7, BK12-40353-TJM, A12-4046-TJM (Feb. 13, 2013)

The debtor's pre-petition domestic support obligation remained non-dischargeable, so the former spouse's efforts to collect on that debt, including obtaining a contempt order and having him arrested for failing to purge the contempt, were not sanctionable. While the request for an arrest warrant was made without obtaining relief from the automatic stay, no action was taken against the debtor until after the automatic stay had expired, so his rights were not impaired.
