The house is not his, although he may be entitled to some share of the quity that accrued during the marriage. The credit cards belong to the person whose name is on them, but the other spouse may be responsible for a share of the debt that accrued during the marriage.

No, the judge isn't going to make sure that everything is fair, unless its contested and the judge is asked to decide.

Both of them need attorneys. Your friend in particular because his name is on the mortgage. He needs an attorney to ensure that his ex has to refinance the house to get his name off the mortgage.
