No. And exactly where would you expect them to get the money? If anything, your payment of the debts will be considered preferential and re-claimed by the court to pay those with higher level claims.

If getting divorced and spouse is filling bankruptcy should other half do the same?
Just because your spouse is filing for bankruptcy does not mean you need to. If your spouse ran up a lot of bills related to a business or something that does not involve you and no one will be coming after you for those debts, there is no reason why you should declare bankruptcy. If, on the other hand, you are in debt just as deep with no possible way of paying off those debts, it might be a good idea. It depends on your personal situation, not your spouse's situation. You may want to check with the bankruptcy lawyer.
How does bankruptcy affect your credit ratings?
As with everything, bankruptcy law can be complicated and the manner by which credit ratings occur can seem mysterious at best. Filing for bankruptcy will in general lower your credit score, but with some good spending habits and good financial stewardship will again rise over time, especially since part of your credit score has to do with income to debt ratio. When you file for bankruptcy, the debts do not simply disappear as if they never existed. Your history of late or missed payments, if you have one, will remain on your credit report and will continue to drag down your credit score. Additionally, the bankruptcy will stay on your record for many years. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy will remain on your credit report for 10 years from the date of the filing

It depends on your debt, not credit score. If you file bankruptcy, then your credit really takes a nose dive. Before considering bankruptcy, get credit and debt counceling (a free service in many cases) and start a debt payment plan. You don't have to do it through a debt consolidation service - a bad idea anyway because although they claim to be free, they charge a manditory donation. Get the book (free if you borrow from the local library) "Smart Couples Finish Rich" by David Bach. It will give you valuable knowledge on getting out of debt and saving for retirement. The bankruptcy makes your credit, and creditability in many other ways, lower.

If you could have good credit given to you somehow today, and just did what you are doing, it would be bad credit very soon. Alternatively, if you change what your doing (that is spending and payment habits), your credit will improve - permanently.
