Can I file bankruptcy to try to save my house from being foreclosed on or is there anything I can do to save my house?

Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to catch up on your back mortgage payments over a 5 year period. If you are faced with an imminent foreclosure sale and talking with your lender is not working, talk to a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law (like me) to see if filing bankruptcy is right for you.

Can I sue him for misrepresentation?

Your spouse did not file bankruptcy with you, so his obligation to pay his debts was not discharged. I am sure your bankruptcy lawyer asked you why you wanted to file bankruptcy without your spouse, and once you gave him your answer, he had no obligation to explain to your the risk your husband was taking because your husband chose not to be his/her client. I appreciate you are looking for someone to blame for this but the only person who is responsible is your husband.
