The lender can pursue you.

You MAY be able to pursue her, with permission from the bankruptcy court. You need to see a lawyer immediately.

You are not responsible for her debt. You are responsible for your debt, and as a co-signer it is your debt. This is the risk in the way the settlement was handled.
