ORDER
JOHN L. PETERSON, Bankruptcy Judge.
In this Chapter 7 case, the Debtor has filed a motion to avoid a lien of creditor Bell pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 522(f). After response by the creditor, the matter was heard upon notice on May 25,1994, with the Debtor appearing and testifying and represented by Debtor’s counsel. Creditor Bell, an attorney, appeared on her behalf. At issue is whether Bell’s claim for attorney’s fees arising from representation of the Debtor in a pre-petition divorce action is voidable under § 522(f) as impairing the homestead exemption of .the Debtor.
