MEMORANDUM OPINION

JERRY A. BROWN, Bankruptcy Judge.

The parties submitted this proceeding for a decision on the briefs. Plaintiff, Gregory P. LeJeune, the ex-husband of the debtor, Angela Howard LeJeune, seeks a ruling that his unliquidated claim for reimbursement of one-half of the community debts that he paid is a postpetition claim, or alternatively, that it is an equitable distribution claim against a future settlement of the marital estate. Because the divorce decree was entered before the debtor filed her bankruptcy petition, the court finds that his claim, if any, is a prepetition claim.
