Yes, you'll still owe the balance. However, student loans are not dischargeable, so your parents will still be cosigners.

The answer to this question depends on what your divorce decree says. If you were supposed to remain liable for a portion of the debt and indemnify your ex according to your divorce papers, then you may face problems either in the bankruptcy court or in the state court where you got your divorce.

Your BF will no longer be liable for the debt if he files bankruptcy and surrenders the home. If you co-signed for the property you will still be liable for the debt and you can continue to make payments on the home. If you do not make the payments, then the home will foreclose and you will be liable for any remaining debt owed on the home.
