If you have broken leases and you file for bankruptcy, will those broken leases still show on your history after you file?

Bankruptcy may be a good idea. Please note that if you move to another state,the proper venue for your bankruptcy case may not change to that state until you have resided there 91 days. The leases (and other debts should be removed from the credit report once you get the bankruptcy discharge, BUT DO NOT COUNT ON IT. A few weeks after your discharge check your credit reports (which you can do once a year for each of the three major credit reporting agencies without charge). If the discharged debts still show up, you can contact the three agencies (and also the creditors) and ask them to correct the record.

Is it possible to file for bankruptcy while in the middle of an in-home separation?

Filing a bankruptcy does not mean your student loan will be discharged. Some student loans do not meet the requirements to be protected from the discharge, but you must assume that those student loan companies would attempt to fight you on that conclusion. In all likelihood, some kind of court action will be required. To discharge student loans, you would need to file an adversary proceeding in the bankruptcy court to discharge the student loans. If it becomes a contested matter, the attorney fees and costs could exceed $10,000, if the lender does not agree to discharge them. You could also look into the Ford Student Loan Program to see if your loans qualify.

If my husband has a judgement against him for default on auto loans, can they put a lien on our house if we bought it before we were married?

When someone's name is on real estate, all a judgment creditor has to do is record a copy of the judgment at the county recorders office to make it a lien. Before you rush to the recorders office to take your husband's name off of the lien, look at the "Fraudulent Transfers Act" which explains why trying to solve this problem in this manner will just create more problems than it solves.
