Question
If the divorce Court orders one partner to pay the other's legal fees because of non-compliance, can that partner collect if the partners' CH 13 has not been discharged as yet?
What kinds of transfer of marital assets are not allowed?

Answer
if the amount was incurred before the ch13, then you cannot collect until discharged or until you seek relief in the bankruptcy case by modifying the stay.  If the debt was incurred after the bankruptcy was filed, then you can enforce the divorce decree at any time.
