It depends on the type of bankruptcy she files and what she works out with bank during the bankruptcy. Prior to filing for bankruptcy, she should attempt a loan modification. However, if a foreclosure action is filed on the late mortgage payments, all action in the circuit court handling the foreclosure is stayed until the bankruptcy is resolved.
