Bankruptcy Law - Complicated?

Expert: Mark J. Markus- California Bankruptcy Attorney - 11/1/2009

Question
I am divorced, in my divorce I was awarded the family home. The title to the home is only in my name but the mortgage still has my ex-husband's name on it as I haven't been able to get it mortgaged alone yet. I have great credit and a good job now and plan to do that as soon as I can but at the moment I can't.
My ex is in a horrible financial mess and I am worried about what will happen to my mortgage if he files bankrupt. Can they come after my house?
PLEASE help me figure out what to do, thanks!!! (Arkansas)

Answer
As long as you remain current with the payments due on the mortgage(s), a bankruptcy by your ex-husband should not affect anything. There may be unique laws in your state, however, so you should check with a local attorney just to be safe.
