If her name is on a loan that you file bankruptcy on than she would then be responsible for that loan. Filing a bankruptcy only gets your name off the loan(s), you would both need to file together.

The debts are paid off and the bankruptcy is closed or any remaining debts are discharged. Assuming the petitioner was the ex-wife who received the inheritance, the divorce court order still stands, and the ex-wife may file a contempt action in divorce court to have the ex-husband pay the ex-wife the amount used to pay the debts. He may even be liable for some or all the costs of the bankruptcy if his failure to pay the debts led to the bankruptcy.

A husband (or wife) may file for bankruptcy separate from his or her spouse.

The Bankruptcy Code refers to a business filing bankruptcy. If a business is unable to pay it's debt or pay it's creditors, the business or it's creditors can file bankruptcy.
