i am going through a divorce. i have filled for divorce and my spouse has been served he refuses to sign the paper and is now filing for chapter 13

Your husband filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection will not affect your assets at all, it's only in chapter 7 bankruptcy where assets are liquidated to pay off debtors. In chapter 13 bankruptcy, most, if not all of the debts are repaid and no assets are liquidated from the debtor. I have responded to your inquiry according to the laws of Massachusetts, where I practice. Laws can vary significantly from state to state and cases tend to be rather fact-specific, so you are best served by consulting with a knowledgeable attorney in weighing your options.
