Bankruptcy lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
I would most certainly engage an attorney for some counsel, providing the details of the situation. Certainly there is a potential of personal liability but also that the car owners insurance should be covering the damages and providing you defense if the car was being used with permission and you are legally driving.

The family law order as to payment of community debts is enforceable against your ex spouse. You will have to seek a family court order to enforce this. Alternatively, you might want to consider filing bankruptcy. Consult with an attorney in this regard.

If my co-signer is filing bankruptcy where does that leave me?

The creditor can pursue the non-filing co-signer UNLESS the debtors are in a Chapter 13 and have proposed a Plan which will provide for full repayment to the creditor in question. See if your parents will authorize their lawyer to discuss matters with you. He or she my be able to come up wit something or other resourceful to help protect you. (Here's a freebie: let them submit a Plan which provides not for total repayment of the student loans, but only for their paying under the Plan the monthly payments you would have to make. This can feel like an acceptable variation on a 100% repayment, since it is 100% of what is due during the months of the Ch. 13 Plan (ether 36 or 6 months).
