Bankruptcy can provide an automatic stay on certain legal actions, but it is essential to properly file the bankruptcy petition and notify the court.

No. When you "file" for anything, including a divorce, what you are doing is making a written complaint or petition to the court to begin the process of examining the issues and determining the rights and obligations between the involved parties, in order that the court may be able to make decisions that will eventually resolve those issues, rights and obligations. A Judgement IS the decision. In other words, FILING is asking that a decision be made. A JUDGEMENT is that decision.
