Since my ex filed for bankruptcy, can I legally be removed from the debits and have the bankruptcy removed from my credit.

Divorce court orders only affect things between the two spouses.  It does not affect obligations you owe to creditors.  If you owed an obligation to these creditors before your divorce, then you owe them now.  Your ex-husband's filing bankruptcy similarly does not affect your obligation to your creditors. Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

Is there any possible way to keep a car when filing a chapter 7?

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Questions about keeping a car are the most common concerns that people have when considering bankruptcy. Cars that are financed are seldom at risk of being taken away by the bankruptcy process (unless the equity in the vehicle is very large), but the car can be repoed by the finance company if you don't make the payment and if you don't reaffirm the vehicle loan. In Nevada, your vehicle would need to have equity of more then $15K to be at risk.

You can convert your chapter 7 bankruptcy to a chapter 13 bankruptcy. You should talk with your lawyer about whether doing so is in your best interests.
