Missouri. FYI: The $15,000 Missouri homestead exemption probably can't be used to shelter equity in your Illinois house. Consider chapter choice -- 7 or 13-- carefully. "Hold harmless" provisions in a divorce have been held to be non-dischargable. It's always better to know the ramifications of your choices before you file, rather than after.
