MEMORANDUM OPINION
FRANK R. ALLEY, III, Bankruptcy Judge.
BACKGROUND
The Trustee in this chapter 7 case filed an objection to exemptions claimed by the Debtor in his property to the extent of the amount of a domestic support obligation (“DSO”) held by Debtor’s ex-wife. The Trustee argues that, even though the Debtor may claim his property as exempt, the Bankruptcy Code provides at 11 U.S.C. § 522(c)(1) that property claimed as exempt remains liable for DSO’s and, accordingly, the Trustee should be allowed to liquidate the Debtor’s otherwise exempt property for the benefit of the DSO claimant.
