Any debt discharged through BK is cleared and no longer exists.
The debt may no longer exist but the lien against the property still exists. While you do not have to pay the loan, the note holder can still take possession of the property.

If the mortgage is in both names, or if there is significant joint debt, you are better off filing bankruptcy jointly before the divorce is final. If the mortgage company forgives the balance, it will count as income to you and you will have to pay taxes on it in the following year, unless you file bankruptcy. Or the mortgage company can sue on the deficiency and get a judgment good for 10 or 20 years. Unless you file bankruptcy.

In exchange, the business's assets or the consumer's property is sold (liquidated) and the proceeds are used to pay off the creditors.Reorganization bankruptcy (chapter 13) - involves filing a plan with the bankruptcy court suggesting how you will repay your debt.
