It will depend to some degree upon the wording of your divorce judgment, you should see a bankruptcy attorney prior to the time did you make a decision erroneously.

You cannot discharge some debts, including spousal support and equalization payments. You need to talk to a bankruptcy attorney.

A bankruptcy will not necessarily relieve you of obligations in family court, consult local counsel

You cannot discharge your property settlement with your wife in bankruptcy. So, you may get rid of the bank, but if you agreed to indemnify her or agreed to pay the mortgage, you will probably be stuck with it.

Bankruptcy does not discharge an obligation from a divorce judgment.

You can discharge debts of the marriage but not alimony or child support.
