Lauderdale v. Papadopoulos

460 F. App'x 361

• Court: Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
• Decided: February 9, 2012
• Docket: 06-20879
• Status: Unpublished

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

The judgment of the district court is affirmed for the reasons given by that court. As was explained, this court held in Dvorak v. Carlson, 986 F.2d 940 (5th Cir.1993), that attorney fees owed to the guardian/attorney ad litem of a child are not dischargeable. The court repeated that holding in Hudson v. Raggio, 107 F.3d 355 (5th Cir.1997). The decision of the Tenth Circuit in Lowther v. Lowther, 321 F.3d 946 (10th Cir.2002), is not favorable to the appellant here, because that court found unique circumstances for the one case and rejected the view that an exception should be allowed for a custodial parent.

AFFIRMED.

* Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
