I don't understand the 4th sentence of the detail. Your divorce attorney should not have given you bankruptcy advice, and that advice is questionable. Your bankruptcy attorney should have told you to list all potential debts, including this one. I believe you may have misunderstood your bankruptcy attorney about bankruptcy court not recognizing property settlements. That is not the law. If your ex agreed in the property partition to pay this debt, he is bound to pay it, despite his bankruptcy, or reimburse you if you pay it. Check again with your bankruptcy attorney for clarification.
