Will my ex be responsible for the deficiency as well in the divorce and how do I include that in the divorce filing if we are both on the loan?

The bank is owed money from either or both of you. You cannot be relieved of the debt by agreement with him or a court order between you saying who is responsible for the debt. Consult with a divorce attorney.

How long must I wait to file?

Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
This type of thing is subject to negotiation. It depends upon the trustee and the type of bankruptcy filed. You must list any interest in real estate that you own. The trustee may be willing to let you buy back the interest you have, at a fraction its value. Real estate values have gone down drastically. If you file a chapter 13, it may not matter at all. If you file a 7, you can probably work out a deal with the trustee. One of the beauties of bankruptcy law is that matters like this do not become contested until someone makes them contested by filing an adversarial proceeding. You should not wait to file a bankruptcy if you are in trouble now.

Can I sue him for misrepresentation?

Answered by attorney Kenneth Love (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Love and Dillenbeck Law
If the debts were your STB husband's and he did not file with you, they did not discharge the debts from your STB husband's record. If your attorney told you otherwise, then malpractice might have occurred, but you need to be clear that he told you that your filing would wipe out your STB husband's debts, which is never the case. Your STB husband may need to consider speaking to an attorney to file a Chapter 7 for himself.
