Chapter 13 cannot provide you with additional money to make your house payments. It can only restructure your debts. You may try to see if you can obtain a loan modification and if you have substantial debt, you could try filing Chapter 7 first and see if that frees up any extra money for you. Unfortunately, when relationships end, the lifestyle enjoyed by two often must come to an end.

Unlikely, so I suggest you provide your bankruptcy attorney with this information before filing so you do not subsequently get cited by the bankruptcy court for failing to list all of your debts.

Because you say that you are working with the bank, I presume that you don?t have any equity. If she files a chapter 7, the Trustee should not want the property but some are trying to force a short sale, which you would have to oppose. If she files a Chapter 13, it depends on what she wants to do. Only in the divorce decree or other family court order can she be forced to sign a quit claim. If she refuses to sign, you will have to seek a family court order and ensure that you do not violate the bankruptcy automatic stay in doing so.
