How Judge Wanslee decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
A creditor seeking nondischargeability must prove the statutory elements against the debtor herself; a marital relationship alone does not impute another person's fraud.
“The marital relationship, without more, cannot”
Procedural preferences
She gives substantial weight to the finality of bankruptcy judgments after creditors have relied on them for years.
“interests attached to this three-year-old final Judgment overwhelmingly outweigh”
Cautions
Belated compliance with a turnover obligation does not by itself justify vacating a discharge-revocation judgment.
“subsequent, untimely performance does not justify setting that Judgment aside.”
