This depends on how the house is titled and who is responsible for the mortgage payment. It can be foreclosed on if payments are defaulted the lender does not choose to reaffirm the loan. Or if the exemption does not protect the property, the Trustee can petition for a forced sale.

How do you get title to your house after your ex filed for bankruptcy and stuck you with a large mortgage?
Sorry, but I don't see how this could happen. Was your ex granted the house in the divorce proceedings. Or were you still on the title? If you want to email me perhaps we could sort it out together. You're best option would be to contact the attorney who handled your divorce. The house should have gone into the bankruptcy proceedings unless it was covered by exemption and the loan was reaffirmed by your ex. This sounds ver odd and complicated.

Whether you can eliminate a debt that resulted from a divorce decree will depend on the type of debt. If you owe child support or alimony from a divorce then you will not be able to eliminate the debt in bankruptcy. If the divorce assigned some debt to you as part of the divorce and it was not assigned as child support or alimony then you may be able to eliminate the debt in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to eliminate debt assigned to you that is in the nature of a property settlement and not child support or alimony.
