Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

My wife bought a condominium as a rental property before we were married. Her name alone is on the mortgage. We later married, and now she is going to eventually go into foreclosure on that rental property. Am I liable if a deficiency judgment is brought against her? If we get a divorce, would I be protected?

Thanks,
