The only way to avoid having a judgment entered against you is to show up on the hearing date of the lawsuit with a valid defense. Please be advised, the only acceptable defense in a creditor vs. debtor lawsuit is the debtor/defendant bility to provide proof the debt is not valid. As unsympathetic as it seems, loss of employment, illness, not having the financial means to repay, is not considered a legal defense.

Will filing for bankruptcy stop a forcloser Judgment against you?

If the judgment has not yet been granted by a court, it will stop the foreclosure. The mortgagee will have to file a motion for relief from stay to continue. If the judgment has been granted, it may stop the auction of the property. If the property has been sold, it will not have any effect. The answer can depend on your jurisdiction's laws regarding foreclosure, not on federal bankruptcy law, so consult a local bankruptcy attorney.
