If the whole thing was nondischargeable, this would be a no brainer,
enforce the state court judgment. In this fact pattern, you have a judgment
which is about 85% nondischargeable and 15% unknown.
Enforcing this judgment is enforcing a judgment that is potentially
discharged. I would recommend against enforcement.
Because of the special circumstances that exist, I would have the court
issue a money judgment in the amount of $150k.

If you get the clerk to issue a writ or abstract on the MSJ portion, which says it's not dischargeable, you should be in the clear to start
collecting.
I'll see you tonight -light beer.

Bad guy files chapter 7. I file a complaint for non-dischargeability
against bad guy.
I file a motion for summary judgment in bankruptcy court using the state court judgment. Bankruptcy judge says Hayes is right on the car but the judgment is not sufficient to show that the $25k for the baseball cards was a
non-dischargeable debt.
Question: The Court signs an order saying $150k is not dischargeable. Wecan still go to trial on the $25K. Can I start hitting the bad guy's paycheck based on the Order?
Thought on Question. We hit the paycheck based on the state court
judgment. The debtor might say we are violating the discharge injunction. But we
have an order saying $150k is non-dischargeable. Its not final but so what?
I owe you all a beer for even reading this thing. Any thoughts will be

If you get the clerk to issue a writ or abstract on the MSJ portion, which
says it's not dischargeable, you should be in the clear to start
collecting.

Bad guy files chapter 7. I file a complaint for

I file a motion for summary judgment in bankruptcy court using the state
court judgment. Bankruptcy judge says Hayes is right on the car but the
judgment is not sufficient to show that the $25k for the baseball cards was a
non-dischargeable debt.

Question: The Court signs an order saying $150k is not
dischargeable. We can still go to trial on the $25K. Can I start
hitting the bad guy's pay check based on the Order?

Thought on Question. We hit the paycheck based on the state court
judgment. The debtor might say we are violating the discharge
injunction. But we have an order saying $150k is non-dischargeable. Its not final but so what?

I owe you all a beer for even reading this thing. Any thoughts will

I would say you have to await the bk judgment. Then execute on it. What if debtor speaks and gets a stay of execution.
