The answers depends on what the settlement is for. If your ex is paying you for assets from your separation then it may be seized by your trustee. If it is some sort of income replacement then it may not be seized, but it will be subject to the surplus income rules (ie it will affect your monthly payments).

All I can suggest is that you discuss this particular item in detail with your trustee before you file so that there won’t be any surprises. It may be that you should be considering a proposal instead of bankruptcy, but that’s a decision for you to make after you meet with a trustee.
