Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Your attorney in the Chapter 7 should have, if possible, moved to remove the judicial lien from the property in bankruptcy. It may be possible for that lien to have attached to her sole and separate property, as the debt may be considered a community property obligation, and as such, might attach even to her sole & separate property. You also need to be sure that it is in-fact, truly her sole and separate property, and that you have no interest whatsoever. Just holding title as sole and separate property is not enough. It is a complex question, but this should have been resolved while you were in a chapter 7 bankruptcy, and your attorney had the ability to move to avoid a judicial lien.
