MEMORANDUM OF DECISION

JAMES B. HAINES, Jr., Bankruptcy Judge.

Before the court on stipulated facts are plaintiff Monica Marquis’ claims that certain divorce-related obligations owed her by debt- or Russell Marquis are excepted from discharge under § 523(a)(5) or § 523(a)(15) of the Code. 1 For the reasons set forth below, I conclude that some of the obligations in dispute are non-disehargeable under § 523(a)(5) because they are in the nature of alimony or support, but the balance will be discharged because the plaintiff has not demonstrated nondischargeability under § 523(a)(15).
