After the divorce, a joint petition is not possible. You have to file individually.

Most likely, but I would need more information. Please understand that bankruptcy is a very complicated process. It is wise to talk to an experienced bankruptcy attorney before deciding to take this important step. Most Arizona bankruptcy attorneys offer a free consultation about the basics of bankruptcy.

You can file for bankruptcy for yourself. You cannot file any other way since you could not file a joint case with an ex spouse.

You can file bankruptcy without your spouse. You can avoid a debt that your spouse is a co debtor on but you will leave your spouse holding the bag.

If you're single, you have to file alone, as I am sure your lawyer has explained.

Yes. He is not responsible for the debt if he didn't sign the promissory note. You didn't mention if his name was on the title to the home. I assume it was not.

Yes. In fact, you have no choice of filing with him. Only those currently married to one another may file jointly.
