If that's the only reason to file for bankruptcy, probably not. ALL debts must be listed and treated equally, so if you want to get the ordered property settlement discharged, all your other debts must also be proposed for discharge.
Even if you get a discharge on the property settlement, which may not be possible in certain bankruptcy court districts of states, you will be open to contempt charges in the divorce court and still be required to pay the settlement.
To be sure, consult a local experienced bankruptcy lawyer.

Is there anything else you need to do if you have a non-paying tenant who has filed chapter 13 and you have filed a small claims case and a motion for relief of stay?
You can't file any legal action against the non-paying tenant until the chapter 13 has been dismissed or the court grants your relief from stay motion. You can also file a motion to have the entire case dismissed if the failure to pay rent is a breach of the chapter 13 plan. If the tenant is still in the property, you will want to file an eviction lawsuit and not a small claims lawsuit.
