Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas
I got divorced three years ago, and my exhusband was given two years to buy my out of the house. He has now lost the house in forceclosure. I know he still owes me the 24K for the house, but I just found out he is going to file bankruptcy. So my question is if he files banckruptcy will that make it where he wont owe me for the house?

We're going to have to look at your divorce decree before we can answer this one. However, the answer is PROBABLY that he will still owe you the money after the bankruptcy is over - this is probably a non-dischargeable debt.
