ORDER DISMISSING COMPLAINT FOR EXCEPTION TO DISCHARGE
FRANCIS G. CONRAD, Bankruptcy Judge.
This is an exception to discharge proceeding under 11 U.S.C. section 523(a)(5). Because the intent of the parties shows the obligation listed in the debtor’s petition to be part of a property settlement, we dismiss the complaint.
The following facts were established at trial:
1) The Plaintiff Marilyn M. Wadleigh is the debtor’s former spouse.
2) The Plaintiff William L. Nikas is an attorney admitted before the courts of the State of New York. He was counsel to Mrs. Wadleigh in her New York divorce proceeding.
