More details to this question:
I divorced and I have community property that has not been partitioned in different states. However, my ex-wife has filed bankruptcy. How can is it possible to partition? We are upside down on the property and I would really like to short sale the property. She want sign a quit claim deed, can I get the court to order a sale of the property?

Well the bankruptcy court can order that the property be sold, but until the bankruptcy concludes, I doubt that any state divorce judge will touch this issue with the proverbial 10 foot pole. Some bankruptcy trustees have gone into the real estate short sale business and are using the proceeds to pay debts.

It might be able to be done IF she gets the Bankruptcy Court's permission and the permission of the Judge that was the Judge in the Divorce case. Good luck.
