If the mortgage is in both names, or if there is significant joint debt, you are better off filing bankruptcy jointly before the divorce is final. If the mortgage company forgives the balance, it will count as income to you and you will have to pay taxes on it in the following year, unless you file bankruptcy. Or the mortgage company can sue on the deficiency and get a judgment good for 10 or 20 years. Unless you file bankruptcy.

Does a lis pendens prevent foreclosure?

No, a lis pendens does not stop or prevent foreclosure at all. A lis pendens is a notice that the lender's attorneys may file in the land records to indicate that a particular property is in the process of a pending litigation. Various types of notice are filed in different jurisdictions to indicate a pending foreclosure.The term lis pendens is Latin for "lawsuit pending". The purpose of the notice is to show anyone researching the real estate that there is a pending lawsuit, any lawsuit that affects the property.The only legal mechanism that would prevent foreclosure is filing bankruptcy and this only puts the process on hold while the creditor and debtor are coming to an agreement to negotiate a settlement of the debt.
