The answer to this question cannot be known. The presiding judge will have the final answer on this. The person that destroyed the property is probably chargeable with civil contempt of court, which carries no jail time - but also possibly for the criminal charge of destruction of property.
The potential consequences of water dams breaking include flooding, destruction of property, loss of life, displacement of communities, and environmental damage.
Answer may depend upon who owned it (you, someone else, partly yours), why you had it (borrowed, entrusted), how destruction occurred (malicious, reckless, negligent, unforeseeable accident), what type of property it was (irreplaceable, valuable to all, sentimental value only, intangible property), and where it occurred (which state/country), among other things.

To be sure, consult a local experienced bankruptcy lawyer.

It depends on the specific terms of the property settlement and any subsequent agreements or court orders. Generally, if the settlement specified that the divorced spouse relinquishes any claim to the ex-husband's property after his death, they would not be able to claim it. However, if the settlement did not address this issue or if there were changes made to the agreement afterwards, it is possible that the divorced spouse could still claim the property.
Yes. Only child support and alimony are not dischargeable. That does not mean you cannot hold your ex in contempt for doing so, however. State laws differ, so consult a knowledgeable lawyer.
