Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Ohio

foreclosure

I am divorced, the Ex kept the house but was supposed to pay for it, she filed bankruptcy and didn't pay, so she's clear of the suit. I was only contacted about the bankruptcy and was told by her lawyer that she had filed a letter of intent to pay for the house with the bankruptcy courts. I was never contacted by the mortage company until today. I recieved a summons to court for foreclosure and they are sueing me and ruining my credit. What can I do ?

Re: foreclosure

Absent a refinance, you are probably still liable for the debt to the lender. The divorce decree did not change that. Your choices, most likely, are to pay the debt (or at least the overdue payments), or not do anything and let them foreclose (in which case they may come after you for a deficiency).
