California Court of Appeal

After termination of marriage and agreements that spousal support would be waived and that husband would hold wife harmless for obligation of community to pay a debt, husband's subsequent Chapter 7 bankruptcy and discharge, in which he listed the creditors of the debt as unsecured creditors but did not include wife as a creditor, did not terminate his obligation to pay the debt as part of the community obligations despite his written agreement to do so.
