When you pay 100%, the bankruptcy trustee will overlook a lot of issues that in other circumstances, might be a problem. Obviously, you never know a woman until you either marry her or divorce her, and you have no legal control over what your wife does. I am sorry to hear that you do not trust your lawyer in this regard, but have to warn you that it sounds like your marriage is in trouble.

After a chapter 7 bankruptcy, am I legally responsible for the property taxes / house insurance?

You are responsible for any debts made after you filed your bankruptcy. As long as the title to the house remains in your name, you are legally responsible for paying your property taxes. Whether you are also responsible for paying property insurance is a matter up for debate. If you don't carry insurance, your mortgage company will buy insurance for you, but whether or not they will pursue you to collect is a business decision for the mortgage company to make. If the assumption of debt you signed was a reaffirmation agreement ordered by the court, you may have gotten yourself into some real hot water! Better see an attorney about this issue immediately.

What do I do if they told us and our attorney that they were not going to release the title to the vehicle even after it was paid off?

The contract you have with the credit union says that all your accounts are combined and that you must pay off all accounts to get your collateral (the vehicle) returned to you. So unless you pay off both the credit account & the car loan, as well as any other money you owe the CU, you won?t get the car title. However, when you pay off the car, the fact that you don?t have the title does not mean that the car will be repoed. So you have a hard decision to make. Many bankruptcy attorneys do not understand banking laws and how cross collateralization works.
