Noelle L. DeLaet v. Nat'l Collegiate Trust (In re DeLaet), Ch. 7, BK13-40421, A13-4032 (Feb. 25, 2015)

After trial, the court granted the debtor's request to discharge her student loans. She has a stable job, although not in her field of study, but has been unable to find a better-paying job in the Lincoln area and is unlikely to earn significantly more in the future. Her monthly expenses are modest and reasonable. The stress of financial problems, including repayment of these student loans, has had an impact on the debtor's emotional health and caused difficulties in her personal relationships. The totality of the circumstances indicates that repayment of the student loans would be an undue hardship for the debtor.
