Bankruptcy proceedings are not as clear cut as one would assume. What property is allowed to be kept and what is liquidated depends on many factors. First of all exemption status of the property. Whether the property is secured, jointly owned, etc. It is not ususal for a trustee to allow two paid for vehicles to be kept. But if they are not of reasonable value for sale purposes. Uf the parties involved have a disability (or a dependent does) etc. that can play a part in the decision.

When a BK is dismissed with or without prejudice the debtor(s) lose the protection of the automatic stay which will allow creditors to pursue collection action including the filing of a lawsuit. Sometimes debts will be assigned in a dissolution of marriage to one or both parties. Creditors are not legally bound by the terms of a divorce as to which person they can collect the debt from if the debt is jointly held. Likewise, if the couple lived in a community property state terms of a divorce are irrelevant. Both will be held equally responsible for the debts regardless of whether they were incurred individually or jointly.
