Debt is what you owe others for money the lent you expecting to be repaid by you. Bankruptcy is a federal legal court system that allows debtors to get a discharge, which prevents creditors from taking any action to collect the debt. It does not prohibit you from repaying the debts as and when you can after the discharge. Some loans cannot be discharged, such as student loans and child support arrears. Secured loans (mortgages, car loans, etc.) must either be reaffirmed or the collateral surrendered to the creditor

When you file for bankruptcy, you can include only those debts which you are liable either personally or as a co-signor or joint debts. If you are not a co-signor and you include your mother debt in your bankruptcy, you will be committing fraud and your petition will be dismissed. Once a bankruptcy petition is dismissed for fraud, there may be restrictions on future filings. Your mother will continue to be liable for the debt.
