Bankruptcy is a Federal law. So, it applies in KY too. But bankruptcy is not for a specific debt. It effects everything you owe and everything you own.
If your home loan is included in your bankruptcy, the code describing your repayment behavior on your credit report for this loan will change. If the bank forecloses on your home, the code describing your repayment behavior on your credit report for this loan will change. The loan will have one coded description of your repayment behavior. Credit Agencies only care about your repayment habits, not which mechanism cost you your home. There is no separate report. Your credit is going to be BAD for many years. Whether the house was part of the bankruptcy or whether it was taken in a foreclosure action will not matter (it's not like one is better than the other).
Bankruptcy plays vital role in your life if you are facing financial problems or having unsecured loans like medical bills, repayment loans,wage garnishment. Filing bankruptcy gives you strong legal protection from your creditors. If some one is facing home foreclosure then filing chapter 13 bankruptcy helps a lot. It stops home foreclosure & bring automatic stay.
The answer depends on the type of bankruptcy you file and the value of your home. In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you may be required to sell the home unless it falls within certain exemption limits. In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you can typically keep your home and create a repayment plan to catch up on missed mortgage payments. It's best to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to understand your specific situation.
If what you want to do is give up your home so you don't have to pay the mortgage anymore, then the answer is yes. However, if you want to give up your home, then you should really consider a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which does not require a repayment plan. Talk to a bankruptcy attorney in your area, who can tell you whether you qualify. For more information on the bankruptcy process, you can visit the website I added to the links.

You are not left in bankruptcy, you enter into it willingly. In chapter 13 you enter into a repayment plan and all your debts are paid in about 5 years. chapter 7 negates all debts that are unsecured like credit cards and leaves you with only your secured debt like home and cars. In both cases you keep your vehicle and home
