questioin...help!!!!

What is the name of your state? Wisconsin
I have been divorced for 7 months. In the final divorce decree, my ex was ordered to take care of a home loan that we had gotten together. Prior to divorce, he insisted on, and I made him sign a document for, keeping the loan satisfied. He didn't do that. The house is now being foreclosed on. I know my name is still on the loan and that I am partly responsible for this debt. I know that if i am made to clear the debt, I can then take him to court for contempt. My question is, he said he was going to file bankruptcy. Will this clear me of this debt? And he has so many judgments against him. And some of those judgments are from fines. Can he declare bankruptcy on things that are already made a judgment? and can he declare on his fines? And, is there any way they can come after me on any of this?
Thanks,
Kara

If he files for bankruptcy with your name on that home loan, the bank will come to YOU to pay for any deficiency from the sale of the property. If he includes you as a creditor, then you won't even be able to go after him to make him pay you back. If he doesn't include you, then you have some possible recourse to recoup the money.

He CAN have the debts that caused the judgments discharged, then the judgments would have to be vacated. Depending on what the fines were for, they may or may not be dischargeable.
