Anyone that is qualified by law to bid at the auction is entitled to bid. Some qualifications include having cash or cashier's check for the deposit (which must usually be 10% of the accepted bid price) and being of legal age. Anyone can bid on the property at the auction including her ex, his fiance, her and you. I could even bid on it.
Equity will be affected depending on the final sales price of the property at auction and the percentage of ownership each spouse has in the property.
