(In re Cervantes), 219 F.3d 955 (9th Cir.2000). The court in Cervantes faced a nearly identical issue to the one this Court now addresses: “May an absent parent who owes money to the County for child support payments made by the County prior to the entry of a child support order have that debt discharged in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceeding?” Id. at 957. The only difference in this case from Cervantes is that Cervantes was a Chapter 13 debtor, such that § 523(a)(18) was inapplicable, whereas in the instant case, the debtor is seeking a Chapter 7 discharge. Without evaluating the potential impact of § 523(a)(5) to the reimbursement debt, the Cervantes court went outside the Bankruptcy Code to hold the debt nondis-chargeable under § 656(b) of the Social Security Act. See id. at 962 (<HOLDING>). The court’s failure in Cervantes to explain
recognizing that bankruptcy court preconfirmation bears an independent duty to assure compliance with title 11 even if no objection is lodged recognizing wide reach of jurisdiction under title 11 holding that all core proceedings necessarily arise under title 11 or arise in a title 11 case holding that  656b serves as an independent basis to make all such debts nondischargeable under title 11 holding that such a theory is viable under title vii
