As long as the mortgage stays current, your husband's bankruptcy filing might not impact the property, barring a few exceptions. The most important exception being that he lists your home as an asset, and the bankruptcy trustee takes possession to liquidate the home to pay creditors. You should contact your husband's bankruptcy attorney or a consumer rights attorney to determine how the filing will impact you and the home.
