ROBERT E. GRANT, Bankruptcy Judge.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Plaintiff, Barbara Diane Martin, is the defendant/debtor’s former wife. They were divorced on July 31, 1989. The decree issued on that date required the debtor to pay her the sum of $9,214.88; hold her harmless from a debt in the approximate sum of $8,300.00, which was secured by a motor vehicle awarded to her; and pay $1,234.00 toward her attorney fees. Seven weeks after the entry of the divorce decree, debtor filed for relief under Chapter 7. He did so without having paid any part of the state court award.
