She said they automatically withdraw part of the payment on the chapter 13 from her account every month .

Duvirce dies nit akter ine's obligation to a mortgage cimoany, unless that lender was made a oarty to the case. The decree abd division if debts us as to tge duvircubg soiuses. If H wad to oay tge hone lyan, tgan W may be able to take action to get reimbursed for whatever the lender collects from W. But, it won't stop her obligation to the lender. Add on her obligation through the bankruptcy, and there is another layer to considet as to who owes whom for the debt. Your coworker should consult with her bankruptcy and divorce attorneys to see where she stands.

Good luck
