William J. Tilley, Jr., 7-85-0031 a v. Joyce Jessee

K.K. HALL, Circuit Judge:

William J. Tilley, Jr., is a debtor in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding. He appeals from an order of the district court affirming a determination of the bankruptcy court that an obligation contained in a separation agreement executed between Tilley and his ex-wife, Joyce Jessee, was “in the nature of alimony, maintenance or support” and, therefore, non-dischargeable in bankruptcy pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 523. Because we find the bankruptcy court’s factual conclusion with regard to the central question of the parties’ mutual intent to be clearly erroneous, we reverse.
