Re: second mortage

I presume your ex was required to pay the balance on the second. In such a case you are required to indemnify her by repaying to her all amounts she had to pay on your debt. You are also required to pay your arrearages. These cannot be discharged in bankruptcy, although other debt can. You are in a difficult situation.
