Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

My son was divorced and his ex-wife moved out while he stayed in the house. Both their names are on the deed but the mortgage is in her name only. He does not qualify for a mortgage, but he is still paying the mortgage in her name. They agreed that he could have the house, and she would get no money out of it. Now she is declaring bankrupcy. Will my son lose the house?
