Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
BARKETT, Circuit Judge:
Kenneth Strickland (“debtor”) appeals from a district court order finding nondis-chargeable his $9,430.50 debt to his former spouse Lauren Strickland (“former spouse”) and her attorney for attorney fees resulting from the debtor’s failed attempt to modify child-custody and child-support provisions of a divorce judgment. Reversing the bankruptcy court, the district court found the debt nondischargeable under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(5) because it was in the nature of support for the minor child and/or the former spouse. We affirm.
