Generally speaking, when one spouse files for bankruptcy, the non-filing spouse should not be effected by this because they are only filing as to their individual debts. They are still obligated to the joint debts they share with you. Additionally, if you are in the process of a divorce the fact that one has filed for bankruptcy does not extinguish his duties to pay the divorce settlement, child support, alimony, etc.

Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy will discharge your personal obligation to pay the mortgage, but it does not remove the lien on the property. Therefore, the mortgage lender can still foreclose on the home if the mortgage payments are not made. In a divorce, the issue of who is responsible for the mortgage payments would typically be addressed in the divorce settlement or court order.

Can a CA resident get a divorce in another state?
Yes. I am not sure from your question whether you, a CA resident, would be filing for divorce in another state or whether your ex-spouse is filing for divorce in another state. Either way, divorces filed in other state are valid so long as they comport with the divorce laws of that particular state. One of the main requirements in most jurisdictions is a residency requirement, so that the person seeking divorce must be a legal resident of the state before he or she can obtain a divorce there. Put differently, you or your ex-spouse (whichever one is filing for the divorce) must be a resident of the state they are filing for the divorce in. However, this requirement is sometimes quite short, as low as six weeks.

No. The appeal is the answer from your spouse for your filing for divorce. A divorce in CA takes 6 months for a basic no fault divorce and with no other problems. Since CA is a community property state you need to settle all the assests in the marriage. Your divorce isn't final until you get the final signed court papers.
